Jack Roy

Noah’s Mill Bourbon
Green Chartreuse
Dolin Blanc
Luxardo Maraschino

“The balance in flavors. We use an exceptional bourbon for this cocktail and shines even among the stronger ingredients such as green chartreuse. Two of these will take the chill right out of early fall,” True explained.

Even Keel

Aquavit
Chamomile Lillet
Lemon
Simple Syrup

“We make a chamomile infused Lillet that really goes fantastic with the caraway flavor of the aquavit. This drink was designed to ease folks into fall while still providing some of the lightness associated with summer cocktails,” he said.

Doctor’s Orders

Gin, Campari
Fernet Branca
Grady’s Cold Brew Coffee

“This drink has been called the most industry drink ever created. Its our play on a classic Negroni but instead of sweet vermouth we use Grady’s Cold Brew coffee, and Fernet Branca. Perfect for when it starts getting dark at 4 p.m.,” True said.

NYC Gold Rush 13

Bourbon
Locally Sourced Honey
Fresh Lemon Orange

Ross Rachlin, owner and cocktail creator of Visana said, “For the NYC Gold Rush we are using locally sourced honey that we then infuse in house with cinnamon, all are ingredients are at their seasonal best right now for fall.  The infusion of the cinnamon in the honey pairs extremely well with the fresh squeezed lemon juice to make for a simple yet very satisfying bourbon cocktail, perfect for a cool autumn night! But really all of our cocktails were designed to use fresh seasonal juices and locally sourced garnishes, all of which are in season right now!”

Tres Noches Calientes 13

Mezcal
Three Chiles Syrup
Fresh Lime
Tangerine
Chipotle Salt Rim

“We add a few dashes of smokey maple syrup to this deep drink that enhances the smoky essence of the mezcal to contrast the sweetness of the pineapple,” Rachlin said. “The pineapple is reminiscent of the summer for the cold NYC nights but the smokiness brings you right back to the season!”
