‘Grape Juice & Cocktails’
Shaken…
not stirred, nor muddled, nor strained, nor diluted, nor chilled, nor
garnished, nor rimmed, nor salted, nor dry, nor doubled, nor
tall-glass-doubled, nor twisted, nor upped, nor rocks, nor dirty, nor frosted
glassed…
We have heard, seen & served it all. And that’s okay. But we want to tell you
how we like our cocktails.
Why we mix… our desire to provide original and unique recipes using fresh
ingredients and staying away, as much as possible, from overly complicated
and sugary drinks that hide the flavor of the spirit(s) in which that drink is
based, and intended. We strive to use the highest quality ingredients;
whether in our cocktails, our food recipes, or our culture.
We feature over 27 different whiskeys and 16 bourbons; and encourage
patrons to try higher end bourbons, gins, scotches, rums, tequilas and
vodkas. Quality ingredients are not inexpensive for the craftsmen who take
great pride in producing them. We cannot cut corners and try to fool the
most educated customer base in history. So we don’t try to. Instead we
celebrate together great local ingredients, and unique craft driven recipes
that many don’t… and can’t do.
The following recipes were created after many years of our great customer
base providing feedback on what THEY wanted. Our passionate staff
researching… and sampling unique recipes, and the ‘chef-like’ creative mind
of our Bar Manager Shane Durie. We hope you will take the opportunity to
try many of these great recipes, on multiple visits, as well as feel welcome to
suggest recipes of your own that will challenge our mixology skills.
Have Fun & Cheers!

MARTINIS:

cheese-stuffed olives for an extra kick. Tito’s Vodka or Bombay Saphire Gin
recommended.
So Fresh, So Clean-tini- Luke's favorite! Hendricks gin with fresh cucumber
and herbs with a twist of lemon. So refreshing. So delicious!
The Cosmo-Tito- Classic Cosmopolitan with Tito's Vodka and a dash of
pomegranate infusion. A new take on a classic martini.
Glo-tini- Malibu Coconut Rum, Midori, pineapple juice and sours with a
Chambord sinker. Sweet and beautiful like the lady it is named after!
Sweet Tart- Orange and Citron vodka with Benjamin's fresh
lemon-lime-orange-ade and a splash of Red Bull. Great on hot summer days!

Muddled Rita-tini- Shane's famous muddled Margarita shaken and strained
into a martini glass. With a sugar or salted rim.

at Senior Prom!

citron vodka, peach schnapps & amaretto and finished with lemonade.
Moscow Mule- Tito’s vodka, ginger beer and fresh squeezed lime juice in a copper
mug! Served with fresh mint in the warmer months!

Menthe!

dash of Butterscotch schnapps blended with vanilla ice cream and served in
a Red Rooster Coffee and Ancho chili- rimmed glass, then gently sprinkled
with cinnamon! Woah!
Grandma’s Hot Totty- A snifter of Grand Marnier with honey and an orange
wedge served over a cup of hot orange tea! Be patient and let the tea heat the
Grandma, then sip separately or together!
Rare Turkey Totty- Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon in a snifter with honey
and a lemon wedge, served over hot tea! Cures what ails you.
The Nikita Koloff- Named after one of the fiercest wrestlers of the 80s, this is
not your ordinary White Russian. Madagascar Vanilla Bean-infused Russian
Standard Vodka, Kahlua & half & half! It will make you say, “Ochen’
vkusnyy”. That’s “delicious” in Russian…
Save room for Mama Sue’s House-made desserts!
