Bombay Government Punch
This recipe was first documented in 1694 and is kind of like a very unrefined Daiquiri. If you’re looking for something that takes “classic” to a whole new level, this is it!
Fish House Punch
Don’t worry, The Fish House Punch isn’t made with fish! It’s a 1700’s drink that originated in a pre-Revolutionary Men’s Club – and was supposedly also enjoyed by the one and only George Washington.
Cosmopolitan
This modern classic got a bad reputation in the 90’s for being a sickly sweet drink. But a true Cosmo is a thing of beauty! Here’s how to make one.
Cinnamon Ginger Whiskey Sour
Fall is for spices! This cinnamon cocktail is aromatic and spiced, with cinnamon infused deep into the bourbon. It’s warming and delicious.

The Champagne Cocktail
The Champagne Cocktail is such a bougie drink – but I absolutely love it. It’s aromatic and classic, (and I won’t tell anyone if you use Prosecco instead!)
Pimm’s Cup
It’s the quintessential Wimbledon Cocktail, but delicious year round! The Pimm’s Cup is a light, refreshing and low alcohol cocktail that’s perfect for summertime.
Vieux Carre
The name of this cocktail translates to the “Old Square”, referring to where it was originally created, the French Quarter in New Orleans.
Sazerac

French 75
Named after a French WW1 75mm field gun, the French 75 is a delicate looking cocktail that definitely packs a punch!

Don’t write this one off because it’s pretty. Blood Orange and Campari bring a lovely bitterness to this beautiful drink!

Another classic from the Savoy Cocktail book, this one started out as a drink for 6, but we’ve pared it down to just one serving. (Which went fast, might I add!)
