There are many variations of an Old Fashioned recipe, but we like the Harvest Old Fashioned which incorporates fall flavors like apple, maple, or honey, distinguishing it from a classic Old Fashioned. This recipe captures autumn with bourbon’s warmth, honey’s sweetness, and apple’s crispness, balanced for a refined sip.

• 30 ml Straight rye whiskey
• 30 ml Calvados / apple brandy / straight applejack
• 7.5 ml Sugar syrup 'rich' (2 sugar to 1 water, 65.0° Brix)
• 2 dashes of Creole-style bitters (like Peychaud)

An Espresso Martini is a classic cocktail that blends the bold kick of espresso with the smooth warmth of vodka and the sweet, velvety touch of coffee liqueur. It’s a perfect pick for a sophisticated evening.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka (e.g., Tito’s or Ketel One for a clean, organic-leaning profile)
• 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa or Mr Black for deeper coffee notes)
• 1 oz fresh espresso (hot, ideally from a machine; strong brewed coffee works in a pinch)
• ½ tsp simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water, optional, for slight sweetness)
• 3 coffee beans to garnish
• Enough ice for shaking (cubes or crushed)

Directions:

• Brew 1 oz of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop moka pot. Let it cool slightly (hot but not scalding, ~1 minute). If using strong coffee, brew double-strength
• Place a martini glass or coupe in the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill with ice water to chill while you mix.
• In a cocktail shaker, add ice (fill halfway).
• Pour in 2 oz vodka, 1 oz coffee liqueur, 1 oz espresso, and ½ tsp simple syrup (if using).
• Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. Hard shaking creates the signature frothy crema.
• Discard ice water (if used) from the martini glass or remove from freezer.
• Strain the cocktail into the chilled glass through a fine mesh strainer (optional, for smoother texture).
• Float 3 coffee beans on the frothy surface for tradition and aroma.

Sip slowly, savoring the coffee’s bite and the liqueur’s sweetness.

• 2 dashes Angostura bitters (classic, aromatic)
• 1 Luxardo cherry
• Cubes of ice for stirring, optional for serving
• Chilled martini glass or rocks glass (if served on the rocks)

Instructions

• Place a martini glass in the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill with ice water to chill while mixing. For a rocks glass, chill similarly if serving on the rocks.
• In a mixing glass, add ice (fill halfway).
• Pour in 2 oz rye whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and diluted just enough to mellow the whiskey’s bite.
• Discard ice water (if used) from the martini glass or remove from freezer.
• Strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass for a straight-up serve, or into a rocks glass over a large ice cube if preferred.
• Drop in a Luxardo cherry, letting it sink for a subtle sweetness and polished look.

1 oz fresh lime juice (squeezed from 1–2 limes, never bottled)

Lime wedge and salt (for the glass rim)

Cubes for ice shaking and serving (if on the rocks)

Margarita glass, rocks glass, or coupe (chilled)

Instructions

• In a cocktail shaker, add ice (fill halfway).
• Pour in 2 oz tequila, 1 oz lime juice, ¾ oz orange liqueur, and ½ tsp agave syrup (if using).
• Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and blend, creating a frothy texture.
• Discard ice water (if used) from the glass or remove from freezer.
• Strain into the salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice (for on the rocks), or crushed ice, or straight up (for a coupe/Margarita glass).
• Add a lime wedge on the rim or drop it into the drink for a zesty flourish.

Sip slowly, savoring the tart lime, sweet orange, and tequila’s agave warmth.
