The bar's first iteration of the Trader Vic classic.
A blend of vermouths sets this rendition apart.
Equal parts Amass Riverine, Wilfred's aperitif and Lyre's aperitif combine for a zero-proof take on the classic.
Grapefruit honey adds body to this zero-proof take on the Negroni.
Placing third in our recent blind tasting, Simó's recipe calls on Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old Bourbon, rich demerara syrup and three types of bitters.
Chris Hannah's recipe, which came in second place in our recent blind-tasting, calls for a high-rye bourbon and two types of bitters.
Macy's recipe took top place in our recent blind-tasting and calls on a base of Wild Turkey Rye 101.
This outstanding rendition of the classic is nearly textbook.
James Bolt opts for the standard equal parts ratio, using Big Gin from Washington State as his spirit.
Nearly stomped out of existence by its fruity mid-20th-century counterpart, the true Old-Fashioned is as traditional as they come.
