Tonight we’re keeping “A Finger on the Pulse” of bar history. In some bartending and cocktail circles there exists a belief that one of the earliest martini recipes involved gin, sauvignon blanc and grated cinnamon. Tonight’s riff on that idea features Tanqueray No. 10 gin, Simi chardonnay and cinnamon simple syrup. It’s a bright, crisp martini with an undercurrent of spice we think you’ll really dig.

This Friday night special, we give you the São Paulo Handshake 🤝
The bright, citrusy elements of a Brazilian caipirinha (Cachaça, lime juice and sugar) meet the herbaceousness of an Italian Amaro in the form of Fernet Branca. It’s a citrus-forward drink with a mysteriously satisfying finish. It’ll make you believe the sun is out this weekend. ☀️ 🍋🟩

Our Derby Day darling. Gin, muddled strawberries, and simple syrup bring the sweetness of a Churchill Downs rose garden, while fresh lemon and a whisper of Campari finish clean with just a touch of bitter bite. Pretty in pink, dangerously easy to sip — good luck only having one before the bugle call.
