COCKTAILS . ZERO PROOF . BEER . WINE OLD FASHIONED BLEND OF NINE BOURBONS & RYES HOUSE MADE BITTERS RAW SUGAR he name comes from the way it is made, as in the 1800’s people were heading to cocktail bars and asking for their drinks to be created the ‘old fashioned way’. It encapsulates Tthe feeling people get when they want to stick to their roots and origin; no frills, no foolery. Our recipe is inspired by a cocktail from the mid-1800s known simply as ‘the whiskey cocktail.’ Using an American white oak barrel, we blend together a prescribed ratio of unique bourbon and rye whiskeys from North America. Once harmonious, we add aromatic bitters, as well as our house- made orange, lemon, and antique bitters. The drink is half-sweetened with the finest organic raw cane Turbinado sugars, leaving it a touch dry on the palate. Once rested, the liquid is stirred over a hand-carved, antique-style clear block of ice and served not with an orange peel, but with fresh lemon zest, as the whiskey cocktail was first described. 2.5OZ $16 NEGRONI BLEND OF: 6 GINS 6 VERMOUTHS 6 ITALIAN BITTERS hile the true origin of this classic cocktail is up in the air, the story of the Negroni begins at the Caffé Casoni in Florence. There is no Wdocumented account, but it is believed by cocktail creators everywhere that Count Camillo Negroni invented the drink when he requested his favorite drink, the Americano, made with gin in place of the usual soda water. He loved it and not long after, the Negroni family founded the Negroni distillery, and produced a version of the cocktail that they called Antico Negroni 1919 that was ready-to-drink. Our Negroni brings back the nuances of the past by blending six gins, six vermouths, and six Italian bitter apertifs to give a less uniform taste with rustic charm. 3OZ $17 BON VIVANT (CHAMPAGNE SANGRIA) PROSECCO CORDIAL MEDOC GREEN APPLE ORANGE PEACH ur luxurious rendition of the classic Spanish punch. The Bon Vivant uses peaches, apples, oranges to create a delicious medley touched with hints of ocinnamon. We have also resurrected the Cordial Medoc, an ancient liquor that remains shrouded in mystery - it has been extinct for over 75 years and no one seems to agree on what it actually was. The fresh fruits and spices mix decadently with sparkling wine, and 25 other flavours to create a fruity twist that reveals more to the drinker with every sip. 2OZ $16 HEMMINGWAY’S MOJITO SPEARMINT OVER-PROOF RUM CUBAN RUM RAW CANE SUGAR FRESH MINT LIME JUICE ANGOSTURA BITTERS he mojito can trace its roots back some 400 years. The modern mojito is an evolution of a drink that used brown molasses, sugar, Tfresh spearmint, lime, and spirits. Our mojito uses rum from Cuba, where the cocktail gained notoriety. We then add overproof rum; a nod to the golden age of cocktails when spirits tended to be barrel strength and allowed cocktails to handle fresh ice without becoming watered down. Spearmint oil is infused into our rum to add light fragrant notes and a sugar blend to capture a hint of molasses. We then add bitters to the top based on a secret that only a handful of bartenders know: this is how Earnest Hemingway drank his mojito. 2.5OZ $16 SMOKED PIÑA COLADA SMOKED PINEAPPLE OVER-PROOF RUM CREAMED COCONUT SYRUP COLD PRESSED PINEAPPLE JUICE LIME he name piña colada literally means ‘strained pineapple’ and is a reference to the freshly pressed and strained pineapple juice used in the drink’s preparation. Coco TLopez cream of coconut was developed in Puerto Rico in 1952. Two bartenders mixed this liquor together with pineapple juice to create the piña colada - and won a contest for the ownership of their national drink! Our piña colada takes all the best parts of the drink and does away with the rest. We use strong rum, smoked pineapple, house- made Coco Lopez, and a delicious salted coconut sugar rim to turn what has been considered a fruity drink into a serious contender. Seriously easy-going! 2.5OZ $16 SHELBY’S MARGARITA REPOSADO TEQUILA HOUSE-MADE AGAVE TRIPLE SEC LIME EGG WHITE NUTTY SOLERA SHERRY VANILLA SALT he original margarita contained equal parts tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. It was later modified at a popular bar in San Francisco – omitting the triple sec in favour of Tadding more tequila and a splash of agave syrup. Our version marries the best of both worlds. We use our house-made agave triple sec, made by flavouring agave syrup with bitter and sweet oranges. We then add a splash of sherry to extend the flavours lingering on the palate, egg white to aerate the drink, and vanilla salt on the rim to bring out the best in the reposado (rested in oak) tequila. An improved version of the much- loved classic! 2OZ $15 ZOMBIE ORIGINAL 1934 JAMAICAN DEMERARA AND OVER PROOF RUM ABSINTHE HOUSE MADE FALERNUM SYRUP GRENADINE ANGOSTURA BITTERS PINK GRAPEFRUIT egend has it that Donn Beach originally concocted the Zombie to help a hungover customer get through a business meeting – the customer then returned to complain Lthat he had been turned into a zombie his entire trip! According to the original 1934 recipe, the Zombie included three different kinds of rum, lime juice, falernum, bitters, Pernod, grenadine and “Don’s Mix” – a combination of cinnamon syrup and grapefruit juice. Beach was very secretive with the recipes of his original cocktails, including the Zombie, which is why there are so many variations of it today. Ours is as close to the high quality and complex flavour found in the original drink from 1934 and is served in a traditionally kitsch tiki mug. 2.5OZ $16 GARDENER’S TONIC GREEN PEA VODKA ENGLISH PEA GIN ORCHARD HAY HOPS BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER BITTER LEMON nspired by the Bridgeland Community garden, this is a drink that challenges the status quo and breaks the mold.
