    Vintage Cocktails

    • Aviation

      Broker's London Dry Gin, Lemon Juice, Maraschino Liqueur, Creme de Violette Liqueur. This cocktail was created in 1916 at the Wallick Hotel in NYC during the early days of the aviation industry. It got its name as a result of its "sky blue color".

      $17

    • Boulevardier

      Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Cocchi di Torino, Campari. This whiskey-based variation of the Negroni was created in Paris in the 1920s by Erskine Gwynne, an American expat and founder of the magazine "The Boulevardier". It was later popularized by Harry McElbone at Harry's New York Bar.

      $16

    • The Martini

      Broker's London Dry Gin & Dry Vermouth with a 2:1 ratio, Orange Bitters. This elegant 1903 classic evolved from a cocktail of the 1860s called the Martinez, which instead called for sweet vermouth.

    • Sazerac

      Old Overholt Rye, Simple Syrup, Peychaud's Bitters, Viex Pontarlier Absinthe Rinse.

      $16

    • Brooklyn
