Cocktails

Mojito

The Mojito has risen in the ranks to become of the most popular cocktails. It originated in Cuba, was second to the Daiquiri on Ernest Hemmingway's list of favorite cocktails and, since the 1980's, has become one of the more fashionable tropical cocktails. It's very simple, using mint and lime to accent the rum.

Cosmopolitan 

The Cosmopolitan has an unclear history but seems to date back to the 1970's.  This drink experienced a popularity surge in the 1990's when it became the favourite drink of Carry Bradshaw in the Sex In The City show.

Bellini

The Bellini is a peachy version of the Champagne Cocktail and makes a great brunch cocktail. The story behind the drink is that is was created in the 1930's or 40's at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani and was named after a favorite painter, Giovanni Bellini. Originally, the Bellini was intended to use sparkling Italian wine and is still made that way in Italy, elsewhere it is often made with Champagne. We can make it with either.

Kir

If you like berry flavored cocktails this classic is a great choice. The Kir became popular in French cafes in the middle of the 19th century and was further popularized by Felix Kir after World War II. The then mayor of Dijon in Burgundy, France, served the drink often to promote his region's fine products (wine and creme de cassis). The name Kir has been associated with the drink ever since. The choice of white wine is something of personal taste; dry wines are preferred, Chablis is great.

Nix Bloody Mary

Nothing is better in the morning (as a brunch cocktail or hangover cure) or on a cold day than the spicy tomato flavor of a Bloody Mary. It has been called "the world's most complex cocktail." Like most great cocktails, there is no lack of theories about the origins of the Bloody Mary. One claim is that the cocktail was the signature drink of a bar called the Bucket of Blood in Chicago in the 1920's. Some stories claim it was named after a character in the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. Others claim that it took its name from Mary, Queen of Scots, who certainly had a violent temperament. This is our version.
