The stunning Native Sour brings together the depth of rye whiskey and profiles of orgeat, lemon citrus, and our bitter and botanical Native Floral bitters.
A savory twist on one of my absolute favorite cocktails... the margarita! The margarita to me is amazing given that you can make it as simple as you want or go crazy with it. The possibilities are endless.
A play off the Ramos Gin Fizz was an easy choice given its rich creamy winter time texture, but bright citrus, floral, and refreshing notes. Underneath a thick layer of wet April snow (foam) you find bright and aromatic citrus notes of spring. Garnished with flowers and mint representing the rebirth of Spring, their beauty is then dusted over by snow flakes (powdered sugar).
This drink was inspired by one of my favorite movie lines and scenes, being a lover of Japanese whisky. The line is from the movie “Lost in Translation” and is delivered by Bill Murray’s melancholy character in which he proclaims, “For relaxing times, make it Suntory time,” while holding a Hibiki on the rocks. The easy answer was to feature the namesake whisky in the cocktail while making an ode to his character’s experience struggling through the cultural and linguistic barriers of Japan. Often times finding himself... lost in translation, so I took the old-fashioned, but twisted around the ingredients to create a classic drink that was lost in translation!
