Papa Don't Peach | Old Forester Rye, Charred Peaches, Peach Bitters, Maple, Cinnamon Smoke

The Whiskey Smash has been around since the 19th century. For Papa Don't Peach, Marissa gives the classic a distinctly seasonal expression with local peaches, rye, peach bitters, maple, and cinnamon smoke.

Each glass is smoked before being served, adding subtle woodsy notes to balance the fruit's natural sweetness. A mint garnish brings another layer of freshness to the finished drink.

A peach-forward take on the classic Whiskey Smash that is approachable without leaning overly sweet.

Watch Marissa make it, then come try it for yourself.

Steak Tartare | Fermented Cabbage, Shallot, Grain Mustard, Beets, Egg Yolk Vinaigrette, Crostini

Steak tartare has long been celebrated for its simplicity, relying on the quality of the beef and carefully chosen accompaniments to create balance. Our interpretation takes a slightly more contemporary approach, pairing finely prepared beef with fermented cabbage, earthy beets, grain mustard, and an egg yolk vinaigrette.

The result is a combination of richness, acidity, and texture, finished with crisp crostini for serving.

A classic preparation with a distinctly modern point of view. Available now at Proof.

Local Melon and Tomatoes (V/GF) | Linden Dale Feta, Fig Leaf Pistou, Radish, Mint

Mediterranean cooking has long embraced the combination of sweet and savory, bringing ripe fruits and garden vegetables together with fresh herbs, bright acidity, and creamy cheeses. This approach can be found across the region, from Greek preparations centered around feta to Provençal pistou and the herb-forward cooking of the Mediterranean.

Our interpretation brings those influences together with the abundance of Lancaster County, pairing locally grown melon and tomatoes with Linden Dale feta, a fig leaf pistou, radish, and mint. The result is a contemporary expression of Mediterranean summer cooking, shaped as much by local ingredients as by traditions from abroad.

Join us this week to experience the flavors of summer through a distinctly Proof perspective.

Have you noticed the new painting in our entryway?

Romance in the City by Tracy Male is currently on display at Proof after being discovered at a local art gallery. The scene was created to commemorate the artist's own daughter's engagement, a personal moment captured on canvas and now on display for our guests to discover.

Cavatelli (V) | Robiola, Basil, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes, Lindendale Romano

Many Italian regions celebrate the simple pleasures of summer cooking with dishes that showcase the season's most abundant harvest. Vine-ripened tomatoes, summer squash, and basil are joined by fresh cheeses and handmade pasta in recipes that have become synonymous with summer across Italy.

Our interpretation honors that tradition while embracing the abundance of Lancaster County, pairing hand-shaped cavatelli with creamy robiola, summer vegetables, and locally crafted Lindendale Romano.

Gather around the table and enjoy one of this season's signature pasta dishes.

Tommy In Italy | Parmesan washed Ford’s Gin, Tomato Water, Basil, Olive Oil

Few ingredients capture the essence of summer quite like tomatoes. Tommy In Italy celebrates the season with a savory cocktail inspired by classic Italian flavors. Parmesan-washed gin, clarified tomato water, basil, and olive oil come together in a cocktail that is bright, balanced, and unexpectedly refreshing.

Built around a series of thoughtful techniques, the Tommy In Italy highlights the natural character of tomato without allowing any single ingredient to dominate. The result is savory, layered, and remarkably approachable.

For guests willing to explore beyond more traditional cocktail profiles, Tommy In Italy offers a rewarding place to start. It's a cocktail for the curious. One that rewards guests willing to step just outside their usual order.

Join us this week to explore the savory side of this season’s cocktail menu!
