Originally, this list of classic cocktails began as a laminated training guide for the bar staff - a minimal list of required cocktail recipes every bartender should know by heart. Our new staff was routinely seen studying this list of recipes when we opened, and frequently, guests would ask to see it. Eventually, we succumbed to their requests and added the list of classic cocktails to our printed menu. While the list has changed slightly over time as we occasionally rediscover lost classics, it has also become an iconic part of our bar and a wonderful way to explore the world of classic cocktails.

“I Was Into Drinking from a Really Young Age,” Says
“I was into drinking from a really young age,” says Jackson Cannon, who runs the bars at both the venerable Eastern Standard and its new sister restaurant, the Island Creek Oyster Bar . But don’t get the wrong impression. He’s not confessing to a youth spent in a haze of alcoholic excess. Cannon was into drinking before he had drunk much liquor himself. It was the rituals around cocktails, rather than the drinks themselves, that first captivated him: the storytelling of the toastmaster, more than the esoteric techniques and tools of the bartender or the occasionally arcane and mysterious ingredients. “In my house, even before we drank alcohol, we were all in on the toast,” he explains. “And when my father took his gimlets in the summer, I would get a glass of sweetened lime juice, so I always liked the idea of drinks and drink-making and how that fit into a social context.” Even Cannon’s introduction to what remains his favorite classic cocktail, the Jack Rose, came not in a glass, but in a book. When he was young, his father was reading to him from Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises (Cannon is a great admirer of Hemingway) and, at one point, the narrator sits at a bar and orders a Jack Rose. The name itself was enough to pique his interest (Jackson. Jack. Enough said.) and his father, much to Jackson’s surprise, was with a little jog of his memory able to rattle off the basic ingredients: Applejack, lemon juice, grenadine. But it would be quite some time before the drink itself would live up to his expectations of it.
