Cherry season might be over, but we’re keeping it going behind the bar. 🍒🍂

This week’s Friday Feature is Cherry McGuire, Arah’s take on a white Boulevardier.

She starts with Origin Single Malt Wh***ey, then layers in Salers, Suze, and her house-made cherry sage syrup. The syrup is made with tart cherries, sugar, and sage from our garden. She also makes the sage bitters herself, then adds a little saline to help that cherry flavor come through.

It’s spirit forward without being too heavy. You get juicy cherry up front, some herbal notes in the middle, and a dry bitter finish.

Friday Features are $2 off all day. Want the recipe? Join our newsletter and we’ll send it over to ya!

The Cowboy Killer was a favorite around here, so Arah decided it was time to bring a little of it back. This week’s Friday Feature: American Psycho. 🩸

Arah built this one around our Barrel Reserve Genever and Origin Single Malt Wh***ey, then brought in Italicus, Aperol, Licor 43, black cherry bitters, saline, and a little mezcal spritz.

There’s a lot going on here, but that’s where Arah really gets into the fun of making a cocktail. The saline brings out the orange and cherry, and that little hit of mezcal gives the drink some smoky balance against the vanilla and citrus.

The result is boozy and decadent with bright orange and vanilla up front. There’s cherry underneath and just enough smoke to keep it all in check. A lot of flavors, but somehow they all know where they belong.

Friday Features are $2 off all day. Come give American Psycho a try and let us know if you see a little Cowboy Killer in there.

Some classics never go out of style. 🍊

This week’s Friday Feature is the Negroni, a simple cocktail with plenty of character.
