Golden Cherry

This cocktail should be the reason you buy a bottle of Italicus — this bergamot Italian liqueur is made with rose petals and has light notes of refreshing citrus. It pairs perfectly with the pleasant sting of lemon juice and subtle sweetness of ripe cherries.

Orgeat Gimlet

This riff on a gimlet is so unbelievably delicious, especially with the addition of Lillet Blanc (an aromatized wine). Because Lillet is fortified with a blend of citrus liqueurs, it pairs beautifully with fresh lemon juice, while the nuttiness of the orgeat smooths it out.

Campari Gin Sour

If you like Negronis and gin sours, this is the cocktail for you: It’s slightly bitter from the Campari, but balanced beautifully with the brightness of the lemon, sweetness of the sugar, and velvety-ness of the egg white.

Passionfruit Martini

If you’ve ever wondered past the exotic fruits section at your local grocery store, you’re probably wondering, “what would I even use a $3 passionfruit for?” and I’ve never been so confident in suggesting this passionfruit martini

Gimlet

There are many variations and additions to this cocktail today (mint and cucumber are common), but this simple cocktail has its time and place in my heart!

Rhubarb Perfect Lady

The traditional Perfect Lady is a British cocktail that dates all the way back to the 1930s, and has made a come back recently with the rising popularity of gin. The original recipe uses peach liqueur (or peach schnapps), so I thought it would be really fun to do a rhubarb twist on this classic.

Negroni Bianco

When I said there were MANY variations of the classic Negroni, I meant it. What a Negroni truly breaks down to be is 1 part bitter, 1 part sweet, and 1 part strong.

Bee's Knees

The Bee’s Knees is thought to have been created during the Prohibition era, when something called bathtub gin (yes, it was what it sounds like!) was all the rage — which was probably incredibly harsh.

Spiced Pear Collins

To me, this cocktail is the epitome of autumn. If you want to wow your guests at your next Friendsgiving get together, I guarantee if you whip out homemade rosemary pear purée (which is surprisingly easy!) to make cocktails, you’ll get out of doing the dishes.

Last Word

I have such a love for prohibition-era cocktails, especially the infamous Last Word. This cocktail was invented by Frank Fogarty, a few years prior to the start of prohibition, approximately in 1915.

Dirty Gin Martini

Ah, the dirty martini. Critiqued, loved, and hated by many alike. I’m here for any cocktail that has an accoutrement. The girls that get it, get it. And the girls that don’t, don’t.

Maraschino Martini

I am a sucker for anything made by Luxardo, so I wanted to combine their two ingredients their most well-known for: Maraschino Originale and Original Maraschino Cherries.

Smoked Rosemary Negroni

The Negroni is one of the most classic Italian cocktails. Orson Welles, while working in Rome on Cagliostro in 1947, described it best: "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other."

Bijou

The Bijou was invented by Harry Johnson, who called it the Bijou because it combined the colors of three jewels: gin for diamond, vermouth for ruby, and chartreuse for emerald.
