The Liberty's Reserve - Smuggler' Selixir
$26.00
Cut & Dry Coconut Rum, rye whiskey, Pineau des Charentes, Laphroaig Select, tobacco bitters. Inspired by the daring spirit of John Hancock, The Liberty's Reserve captures the intrigue and audacity of the smuggling operations that defied British control. Hancock's ship, the Liberty, was seized for smuggling wine into Boston under cover of darkness, setting off riots and further fanning revolutionary sentiments. This bold act of defiance marked Hancock as a key figure in the burgeoning rebellion, with his financial might fueling resistance efforts. This cocktail reflects Hancock's trade networks and his passion for fine goods. Cut & Dry Coconut Rum nods to the Caribbean goods smuggled into the colonies, while rye whiskey symbolizes the emergence of American distilling. Pineau des Charentes recalls the European luxuries that Hancock illicitly brought into Boston, and the smoky, peaty notes of Laphroaig Select evoke the tension and danger of the smuggling routes. Finally, tobacco bitters pay homage to the lucrative colonial trade that Hancock leveraged to fund the Revolution
Spruce Mulligan - A Colonial Tradition
$24.00
Toki whisky, plum wine, elderflower, spruce-infused vodka, Dram palo santo bitters, soda. Spruce beer became a crucial drink for American colonists when traditional grains for brewing were in short supply. Indigenous peoples had long brewed beverages from spruce tips and passed this knowledge to settlers, who adopted the practice for both its refreshing qualities and its ability to prevent scurvy. In a land where resources were scarce, this collaboration helped sustain life. In this modern take on colonial tradition, the bright and light flavors of Toki whisky and plum wine blend seamlessly with the forested essence of spruce-infused vodka. Elderflower adds a floral note, while Dram palo santo bitters evoke the deep, smoky aromas of burning wood—a nod to the rustic hearths of early America
Cherry Bounce - George's Signature Drink
$25.00
Beefeater gin, sour cherry cordial, Aperol, crimson snap, Cointreau, Lagavulin. Cherry Bounce, a popular libation in the 18th century, was a favorite of none other than General George Washington. It's said that Washington himself carried a canteen filled with the rich, spiced cherry spirit during his long journeys, including his expedition west to survey the frontier. The drink was made by steeping cherries in brandy or whiskey, often with added sugar and spices, producing a flavorful and potent beverage that was a common staple at taverns and in colonial households. This modern interpretation blends the tartness of sour cherry cordial with the botanical complexity of Beefeater gin. Aperol adds a bitter-sweet dimension, while the smoky notes of Lagavulin bring depth and intrigue
The Gentlewoman's Rebellion - Resist the Patriarchy
$24.00
Grey Goose White Peach & Rosemary, pisco, cantaloupe syrup, clarified grapefruit, soda. While the elite colonial gentlemen protested British taxes with formal petitions and boycotts, a different kind of rebellion was unfolding in Boston—a cultural one. Phillis Wheatley, a young formerly enslaved AFRICAN poet, defied expectations by becoming one of the most celebrated literary figures of the colonies. Wheatley's poems, including one celebrating King George III's repeal of the Stamp Act, subtly challenged both the monarchy and the institution of slavery by linking the freedom of America with the liberation of the oppressed. Much like Wheatley's poetry, The Gentlewoman's Rebellion balances elegance with subtle defiance. The herbal notes of Grey Goose White Peach & Rosemary and the brightness of clarified grapefruit reflect refined tastes, while pisco, originating from South America, symbolizes the global connections that fueled colonial commerce. Cantaloupe syrup adds delicate sweetness, while a mild effervescence represents the lightness and hope of revolutionary ideas taking root. This cocktail honors those who fought for liberty on multiple fronts—whether through protest or poetry. Just as Wheatley's words challenged the status quo, The Gentlewoman's Rebellion offers a taste of bold sophistication with a rebellious undercurrent
Under the Liberty Tree - United Rebellion
$26.00
Fino Sherry, coconut-washed cognac liqueur, spiced pear liqueur. The Liberty Tree stood as a powerful symbol of colonial resistance in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Located in Boston Common, this towering elm became the meeting place for protestors, particularly during the Stamp Act protests of 1765, where patriots gathered to voice their defiance against British oppression, and sometimes engaged in public shaming endeavors such as tarring and feathering Loyalists. As tensions escalated, the Liberty Tree remained a symbol of unity and rebellion—until it was deliberately cut down by the British in 1775 in an effort to suppress the growing revolutionary spirit. "Under the Liberty Tree" draws inspiration from this historic site of resistance and symbolizes the rich blend of cultures and forces at play in colonial America. The light, dry notes of fino sherry provide a crisp foundation, echoing the refined tastes of the era. Coconut-washed cognac liqueur adds a smooth, tropical twist, nodding to the colonies' trade routes, while spiced pear liqueur brings warmth and autumnal richness—symbolizing the deep roots and natural strength of the Liberty Tree itself
Incident on King Street - An Ode to the Sangaree
$26.00
Broadbent Madeira, Plantation Rum, Ron Zacapa 23 Solera, Licor 43, Grand Marnier, lemon, raspberry. The infamous event that came to be known as the Boston Massacre, referred to as the "Incident on King Street" by the British, recalls the moment on March 5, 1770, when tensions between colonists and British soldiers exploded into violence, claiming the lives of five Bostonians. This tragic event intensified the push toward revolution and marked a turning point in American history. The cocktail pays homage to the popular Sangaree of the time—a fortified wine-based drink whose name comes from the Latin word for blood (sanguis). Madeira, widely consumed in colonial America, forms the base of this drink. Its deep, rich flavor is paired with Plantation Rum and Ron Zacapa 23 Solera, adding complexity and a nod to the transatlantic rum trade that was integral to colonial commerce. Licor 43 and Grand Marnier bring warm vanilla and citrus notes, while lemon adds a bright acidity. The addition of raspberry evokes the "blood" of the Sangaree and symbolizes the lives lost in this pivotal protest
Tippling House Punch - Underground Punch
$25.00
Overproof rum, peach brandy, cognac, Giffard Pampelmousse, demerara, lemon, orange. In colonial America, tippling houses were informal drinking establishments, often tucked away in private homes or back rooms. Unlike formal taverns, these unlicensed venues catered to locals seeking a casual place to drink, socialize, and exchange news. Tippling houses offered affordable spirits, typically rum or brandy, and were places where punch— served in communal bowls—was especially popular. These establishments flourished despite regulations, reflecting the colonial spirit of independence and the desire for convivial gatherings outside official oversight. Legend has it that Paul Revere stopped in such houses on his fateful ride, in order to properly inform the suitable type of revolutionary along his route. Tippling House Punch channels the essence of these lively, underground spaces. Overproof rum delivers a bold and bracing backbone, reminiscent of the strong spirits favored by sailors and laborers. Peach brandy and cognac offer smooth sophistication, nodding to the imported European spirits often found in colonial homes. Giffard Pampelmousse adds a burst of grapefruit brightness, while rich demerara sugar mirrors the sweet, molasses-based goods that flowed into the colonies from the Caribbean
Gaspee Affair - Bold Defiance
$25.00
Old Forester bourbon, Appleton Estate Jamaican rum, cognac, banana, cacao, lemon oleo saccharum, walnut demerara, barrel-aged whiskey bitters. In 1772, the Gaspee Affair became one of the earliest and most daring acts of defiance leading to the American Revolution. Off the coast of Rhode Island, colonists attacked and set fire to the British customs schooner Gaspee in protest of the Navigation Acts, which imposed strict trade regulations and taxes. This bold act of insurrection reverberated throughout the colonies, inspiring other rebellious actions, including the infamous Boston Tea Party a year later. This cocktail draws inspiration from the rebellious spirit of the time, blending bold flavors that echo the complexity of the colonial trade networks. Old Forester bourbon and Appleton Estate Jamaican rum provide a rich, oaky foundation, nodding to the whiskey and rum central to colonial commerce and protest. Cognac adds a touch of sophistication, while banana and cacao reflect the tropical goods traded throughout the Caribbean. Lemon oleo saccharum—a traditional technique using citrus peels and sugar—introduces a bright, aromatic note, while walnut demerara evokes the deep sweetness of West Indian molasses. Barrel-aged whiskey bitters tie everything together with a touch of warmth and spice, symbolizing the fire that consumed the Gaspee and fueled the revolutionary spirit
Cyder for the Present Use - A Colonial Staple
$24.00
Applejack, hop tincture, Appleton aged rum, apple syrup, ginger ferment, lemon, apple blossom water. Cider (sometimes written "cyder") was perhaps the most widely consumed beverage in Colonial America, beloved for its refreshing and versatile qualities. It was enjoyed across all social classes, and low-alcohol versions were even served to children. John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers, famously drank a tankard of cider each morning, believing it contributed to his health and longevity. Cider production thrived in the colonies due to the abundance of apple orchards, making it a household staple from breakfast tables to tavern gatherings. This cocktail draws inspiration from that colonial staple, with Applejack—a spirit distilled from cider—at its core. Appleton aged rum brings a deep, molasses-like sweetness, echoing the rum trade that shaped colonial commerce. A hop tincture adds a slight bitterness, reminiscent of early American ales, while ginger ferment and apple syrup provide warmth and sweetness. A touch of apple blossom water elevates the drink with a floral aroma, and lemon adds brightness to balance the rich flavors
