Every Cocktail Recipe We Have Written

Our storefront's recipe page only shows twelve at a time and has no next button, so here is every one of them in one place. 15 are written by us, and each links the bottles it needs - open one and the Shop All Products button puts the whole round in your cart at once.

Tequila

Three drinks, one bottle, and none of them needs a mix. A blanco is the right tequila for all three, because the lime needs bright agave to push against rather than vanilla.

• Ranch Water — Tequila, lime and Topo Chico. That is the entire drink. 3 bottles linked.
• The Margarita — Tequila, orange liqueur, lime. No mix, no sugar syrup, no blender. 3 bottles linked.
• The Paloma — Grapefruit soda instead of juice, which is why it takes two minutes. 3 bottles linked.

Whiskey and bourbon

The five classics. Between them they need a bourbon, a sweet vermouth, some bitters and a lemon, and that is the whole shopping list.

• The Boulevardier — A Negroni with bourbon in place of gin. Warmer, rounder, better in winter. 3 bottles linked.
• The Manhattan — Stirred, never shaken. Shaking it puts ice chips in a drink with no juice. 3 bottles linked.
• The New York Sour — A whiskey sour with red wine floated on top. It looks absurd and works. 4 bottles linked.
• The Old Fashioned — The oldest cocktail there is, and the one most often ruined. 5 bottles linked.
• The Whiskey Sour — With the egg white or without. Both are correct; one is prettier. 4 bottles linked.

Rum

Two drinks that prove how far three ingredients go. Both are built in the glass and neither takes longer than a minute.

• The Daiquiri — Rum, lime, sugar. Nothing like the frozen thing with the same name. 3 bottles linked.
• The Dark and Stormy — Dark rum and ginger beer, poured in that order so it layers. 3 bottles linked.

Gin

One of these is the easiest drink in the world and the other is the most bitter. They use the same bottle.

• The Gin and Tonic — Done properly means a lot of ice and a wide glass, not a tall thin one. 2 bottles linked.
• The Negroni — Equal parts of three bitter things. An acquired taste worth acquiring. 3 bottles linked.

Vodka

Vodka gets out of the way, which is exactly what you want when the coffee is doing the work.

• The Espresso Martini — For the middle of the evening, not the end of it. 3 bottles linked.

Sparkling

Both are about not wasting the good bottle. Use the cheaper fizz and save the Champagne for a glass on its own.

• The Aperol Spritz — Three parts fizz, two parts Aperol, one splash of soda. In that order. 3 bottles linked.
• The Mimosa — And how not to waste good Prosecco on orange juice. 2 bottles linked.

From the distillers

These came to us from the brands rather than from us, and most of them do not link any bottles, so there is nothing to add to a cart. Some are very good drinks all the same.

Six bottles that make most of this list

A blanco tequila, a bourbon, a gin, a white rum, a bottle of Aperol and a sweet vermouth will between them make the margarita, the paloma, the old fashioned, the manhattan, the boulevardier, the negroni, the gin and tonic, the daiquiri and the spritz. Everything after those six is a preference.
