First printed in 1887 in Jerry Thomas' updated Bartender's Guide, the Saratoga Brace Up is a smooth and custardy classic built with cognac, absinthe, lemon, and a whole egg. We've adapted ours from the original recipe, and it's been part of our Anvil 100 list from day one, a great cocktail for anyone who's a fan of flips, milk punches, and bourbon sours.

THE 100 LIST debuted at soon after we opened the bar in March of 2009. It was originally a training guide for the staff, a minimal set of cocktail recipes every bartender should know. Our new team was often seen studying it and guests would curiously request to take a look.

We’ve since added The 100 List to our printed menu and it has become a notable part of our bar experience. It's divided into sections to navigate the extensive drinks collection, and our bar staff can help you choose the right cocktail whether you want something familiar or craving something more exploratory. Head to our website (anvilhouston.com) to navigate these categorizations and take a look for yourself:

- sour & short
- boozy &alluring
- herbal & spirituous
- light & long
- tropical & tiki
- bitter & bold
- odds & ends

Drop in for this timeless sipper, and don't forget that it can also be ordered bottled to-go from our website or by asking any of our friendly bartenders. (anvilhouston.com)

Created in 1967 by the legendary J. "Popo" Galsini, the Saturn is a bright and refreshing drink made with dry gin, lemon, falernum, passion fruit, and orgeat. Originally named the after the X-15 spacecraft, it was quickly renamed to the Saturn after the X-15 had a tragic accident. Galsini would continue to work at countless California tiki bars, carrying on a long career of over 60 years, bartending on his 81st birthday before passing away soon afterward.

A quintessential rum cocktail, the Mojito is a classic that's easy to make, but difficult to make well. With its origins in Havana, Cuba, we make ours with a blend of our house Cuban rum clone, lime, mint, and soda, resulting in a spirit-forward yet refreshing drink.
