Stop by and sample these fantastic cocktails created by award winning bartender, Charles Joly.

Moscow Mule

A LIGHT AND REFRESHING post-prohibition classic that’s making a massive resurgence in the cocktail world.

This post-prohibition classic is experiencing a massive resurgence, quickly becoming one of the most popular vodka cocktails again. As one of the cocktails that drove the original vodka craze, it owns a spotlight in the modern history of the spirit. The simple, refreshing and bright flavors of the cocktail make it extremely versatile. The key is a high quality ginger beer, with real spice and a little kick that has nothing to do with the syrupy and cloying ginger ale the modern drinker has become accustomed to.

Serve over ice, garnish with fresh mint sprig or lime wheel. If you have a copper mug handy, it is the traditional vessel for this tipple.

Paloma

Perhaps the PERFECT TEQUILA COCKTAIL, giving the venerable margarita a run for its money.

Little is known about the historical origin of the Paloma, the most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico. Some conjecture that it is named after La Paloma (“The Dove”), the popular folk song composed in the early 1860s.

Expressive blanco tequila, sourced from the Tequila Valley, is the foundation for this cocktail. We’ve created our own, all natural, grapefruit soda that leaves those commercially available in the dust. Mixed with a bit of lime juice to round everything out and you have a real crowd pleaser. A touch of kosher salt on the rim of the glass will add an epicure’s touch.

Southside

A VIBRANT AND REFRESHING libation that will make you appreciate a true gin cocktail.

The history of this cocktail is a bit spotty, like so many others. It is purported to have been popularized at New York’s 21 Club, and legends tie it to prohibition era Chicago and the up and coming mob world. There is not strong evidence to stand behind this.

The cocktail itself presents a wonderful balance of premium gin, accentuating the citrus notes in the complex spirit. The citrus show a vibrant and refreshing cocktail while the mint lends a beautiful aromatic. Even those folks who normally don’t touch gin will love this cocktail – perfect for the seasoned cocktail veteran or newcomer to the game.

This cocktail is traditionally made with lemon, but we like the way the lime plays with the gin and mint a bit better. Serve over ice – garnish with fresh mint sprig.
