The Turf Club Cocktail
Before the Martini became a mid-century icon, late 19th-century New York bartenders were mixing drinks with serious teeth. Enter the Turf Club. Unapologetically spirit-forward and complex, this classic gin cocktail gets a historic upgrade on our bar with a heavy dash of New Orleans-born Herbsaint. Here’s how to mix up a legendary, high-proof classic with an intriguing edge. 🍸🌿🔥
The Final Ward Cocktail
The Final Ward is a sophisticated “rye-forward” riff on the classic Last Word, swapping gin for whiskey and lime for lemon to create a darker, warmer profile. Inspired by the legendary Death & Co bar, this version intentionally breaks the traditional equal-parts rule by bumping the barrel-strength rye to a full ounce. This technical adjustment ensures the spicy spirit holds its own against the heavy-hitting herbal punch of Green Chartreuse and the funky sweetness of Maraschino liqueur.
