What distinguishes this ginger beer cocktail is the addition of fino sherry to dry out the other flavors, and cucumber juice for an additional layer of aromatics.

The Fanciulli cocktail is a variation on the Perfect Manhattan—bourbon or rye, and a split of sweet and dry vermouth—that replaces the dry vermouth with Fernet-Branca.

Although sbagliato is Italian for “mistake,” this take on the sparkling aperitivo has very deliberate intentions with its use of vanilla and cacao nibs.

The Hot Gin and Tonic is exactly as it sounds, the ever-popular cocktail-hour refresher retrofitted into toddy form.

This cocktail is a smoky variation on the Manhattan, created by bartender Eryn Reece during her tenure at Death & Co.
