More from the Sour family.
Gimlet
Gin, fresh lime, and sugar — cold, sharp, and done. The fresh-juice spec long ago retired the cordial.
Hemingway Daiquiri
A Daiquiri stripped of sugar and cut with grapefruit and maraschino. Built for a regular who liked them cold, dry, and doubled.
Jungle Bird
Dark rum and pineapple with a Campari spine — tropical, then suddenly bitter. The tiki drink for people who think they hate tiki.
