Past in a Glass

Every classic cocktail carries a story — a moment, a place, a person. This is where those stories are kept. In photographs, in recipes, and in the quiet reverence they deserve.

Valencia Cocktail

Valencia Cocktail

This cocktail is not for everybody. It was surprising since with the ingredients it looked like it would just be sweet. The bitters definitely turn this cocktail into childhood cough medicine. If that’s a flavor you like I’d highly recommend. As someone that was sick often as a child I will be passing on this one. Cheers!

Dubonnet Highball

Dubonnet Highball

Highballs are great for day-drinking. This one is no exception. It’s not very sweet when mixed with the soda water. If you’re not a fan of the taste of Dubonnet or if you like your cocktails sweeter I’d recommend mixing this with the ginger ale. Cheers!

The heat is not leaving us any time soon. This cocktail would be a great addition to the summer drinks rotation. Light, not overly sweet, and refreshing! It would definitely impress many a house guest. A wonderful martini to make! Cheers!

Lawhill Cocktail

Lawhill Cocktail

This was a cocktail that had a lot going on. As someone that isn’t a fan of absinthe there wasn’t enough Maraschino in this cocktail. It’s a rare statement since I’m usually not a fan of sweet cocktails. Between the dryness of the vermouth and the strength of the absinthe this cocktail would benefit with a little more sweetness. That would be my suggestion! Cheers!

Tulip Cocktail

Tulip Cocktail

This cocktail would make a great party martini. At first it seems like it would be a really sweet cocktail. But actually the lemon juice and shaking it really makes the cocktail refreshing. It seems like a good cocktail you could make a big batch of without ruining the taste too much. Hope people try it for their holiday parties! Cheers!

After Dinner Cocktail

After Dinner Cocktail

This one was a sweet cocktail. If you get blue curaçao it’s a fun cocktail to have at a party. One comment was that it tasted like Ramune. If you like that drink you’ll probably like this one! Not boozy enough for me but still fun to drink. Cheers!
