Commodore Classics
Fitzgerald
$12.00
J Carver Gin, House Sour, Lemon Wheel, Angostura Bitters. F. Scott Fitzgerald was known to drink gin as he insisted you could not detect it on the breath. Meanwhile, Ernest Hemingway argued that you couldn't detect alcohol on his friend Fitzgerald's breath because it took so little alcohol to affect him. This cocktail was instrumental in the contemporary revival of the American bar scene, and its creation is attributed to Dale Degroff, bartender at New York's Rainbow Room
Zelda
$12.00
Cava Sparkling, LM Mattei Cap Corse Blanc, Lemon Juice, Lime Twist. This cocktail is our twist on a classic champagne cocktail. Full of effervescence and with hints of intensity and tartness, what better namesake than the woman who was the walking incarnation of all these traits, the incomparable Zelda Fitzgerald? In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald wrote that Gatsby could see the green light from across the lake where Daisy Buchanan resided (her character was inspired by Zelda), a reference evoked with the cocktail's lime twist
The Commodore
$13.00
J.W. Dant Bourbon, Crème de Cacao, Tattersall Sour Cherry Liqueur, Crème de Cacao Soaked Bordeaux Cherries. This cocktail first appeared among the pages of the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book published in 1935, as a drink that was nearly equal parts bourbon, white crème de cacao, lemon juice and a splash of grenadine. Our modernization of this old timey drink omits the citrus and brings the whiskey forward in this after-dinner style cocktail
Dr. Moran's Cure-All
$13.00
Vikre Lake Superior Vodka, DuNord Apple Spirit, Elderflower, Lemon, Rose Water. Dr. Joseph P. Moran was a Prohibition-era physician. Not only did he treat many famous gangsters of the era, but he was also a peripheral member of the Karpis-Barker Gang. He was most likely the last person to attempt to treat a mortally wounded John Dillinger, and so successfully removed Alvin Karpis' fingerprints that the gangster later had a difficult time obtaining a passport. This rejuvenating cocktail with floral and citrus notes will cure what ails you
