WILD MAGGIE
Based off of oatmeal with banana and maple syrup breakfast food pairing. The “Coffee Cocktail” was loosely used as the foundation. Port was kept because of the great red and dark fruit/berries pairing with bananas. High West Silver Oak Whiskey imparts the oatmeal flavors with subtle strawberries/blueberries aromatics.
—name: Wild Maggie is one of the orphan’s Lewis M. Pease helped during his time in the 5 points and is a woman in particular that he struggled to help save. She gave him a very hard time.

Method:Shaken
Glassware:Punch glass/ ice nugget
Garnish:Top with champagne
Origin:Greg Buda, February 2015, Dead Rabbit
Crucible. This drink was built around the combination of black cherry, chocolate, and spice. The PX, cacao, and dark rum have a lot of chocolate notes, and the Redbreast 12 brings in dark fruit and spice. I wanted the name to bring to mind witches, as the ingredients seem to call for something like that.
Economist
- 5 oz amere nouvelle
- 5 oz Noilly Pratt Dry Vermouth
- 5 oz genepy
- 5 oz pale cream sherry
- 5 oz tanqueray
Method:Stirred
Glassware:Nick & Nora
Garnish:Lemon oils
Origin:Greg Buda, Dead Rabbit, February 2015
The economist. Inspired by the white negroni / tuxedo #1, I wanted the drink to be focused on herbs and citrus. The amere nouvelle stands in as the gentian, and the sherry stands in for the blanc vermouth, with genepy bringing in some of those herbs and piney notes. The name was meant to represent a simple, balanced, and somewhat sophisticated drink.
Blacksmith
0.25 oz amargo vallet
0.25 oz honey syrup
0.25 oz Lemorton calvados
2 oz Remy Martin 1738
Method:Stirred
Glassware:Old Fasioned / big rock
Garnish:Lemon Oils

Blacksmith. This drink is a riff on a drink called a Pay Cut (which uses Bourbon). Amargo Vallet is an amaro out of Mexico, extremely bitter and inky, brings dark intense spice and earth notes to a drink (somewhat like Sibilla but darker, spicier, and more bitter). This is a bold cognac old fashioned. The calvados is there to bring in some of those bright cidery notes to the drink. The name Blacksmith was inspired by the Amargo Vallet and it’s extremely dark color.
Eidolon
Egg white 2 dashes mace 2 dashes bokers bitters 0.75 oz lemon juice 0.75 oz orgeat 0.75 oz pale cream sherry 0.75 oz perry’s tot gin 0.75 oz plantation 3 star

Glassware:Punch glass, Ice nugget
Garnish:None

Eidolon:Pronounced /īˈdōlən/: A riff on a white lady/army & navy, this drink is a delicate, clean, and floral sour. The almond, mace, sherry (big surprise) and botanicals from the gin are all very aromatic. This drink is about subtlety. “Eidolon” pays homage to the name “white lady.”
Eidolon: An idealized person or thing/ phantom/ ghost/spector

Harbormaster. A hot toddy focusing on the combination of smoke, cinnamon, and orange. The name came to mind because the job of harbormaster often involves long days and nights in cold and inclement weather, and a hot tod
because the job of harbormaster often involves long days and nights in cold and inclement weather, and a hot toddy would probably be well received by the poor guy.

Drink name:
Tap dance has roots in dancing such asIrish stepdancing,English Lancashire Clog dancing, andJuba Dance. It is believed to have begun in the mid-1800s during the rise ofminstrel shows. Famous asMaster Juba, William Henry Lane became one of the few black performers to join an otherwise white minstrel troupe, and is widely considered to be one of the most famous forebears of tap dance.
As the minstrel shows began to decline in popularity, tap dance moved to the increasingly popularVaudevillestage. Due to the two-colored rule, which forbade blacks from performing solo, the majority of Vaudeville tap acts were duets.[2]This gave rise to the famous pair “Buck and Bubbles,” which consisted ofJohn “Bubbles” Subletttap dancing and Ford “Buck” Washington on piano. The duo perfected the “Class Act”, a routine in which the performers wore impeccable tuxedos, which has since become a common theme in tap dance.
Inspiration:The idea for this drink was to make something gin based, refreshing but bitter, and not too boozy. Originally the drink was about ten ingredients, it had too many flavors battling each other and thats just not my style. I like simplified but defined flavors that play nice with each other. When the drink changed and simplified it was interesting how having so much averna in a drink played down with the gin. It all came together and just worked……Then Jill added Mezcal ;)
Pilfer Rage
1 Dash Absinthe
- 5 oz Lemon Juice
- 75 oz Grapefruit Juice
- 25 Ginger syrup
- 75 oz Raspberry Syrup
- 5 oz Cocchi Rosa
- 5 oz Cana Brava
Method:Shaken
Glassware:Sour
Garnish:None

Name meaning: Crime and poverty were in abundance during the time of the 5 Points (these 2 things also went hand-in-hand), so I thought this name was appropriate and had a good ring to it. Pilfer means to steal (typically things of little value).
Drink Inspiration: We haven’t had much for White Rum drinks on the menu and I love the products and people of 86 Co so I chose Cana brava Rum as a base. Initially I made a Hemingway daiquiri variation with absinthe and after a bit of tinkering turned into a Rum sour with floral, anise and berry tones.
Mindless Faith
2 Sage Leaves 1 barspoon Marmalade 0.25 oz Strega 0.5 oz Honey Syrup 0.5 oz Lemon Juice 0.75 oz Granny Apple Juice 2 oz Powers Gold Label
Method:Shaken
Glassware:Punch Glass
Garnish:None
Origin:Jillian Vose, February 2015 Insert Menu, Dead Rabbit
name —Well, I did not name it after the electronic punk band named “Mindless Faith”, but I did name it due to the religious influences, or lack there of, that were happening in the 1800’s. There was much turmoil between Protestants and Catholics and people were just not as tolerant of other races and religions as we are today. People hated and were violent toward others for no reason other than ignorance.
inspiration: I really wanted to make a cocktail with sage, as it can be quite warming in the winter. This whiskey sour variation came together as a start with the combination of honey lemon
Halfpenny
2 Dash Decanter Bitters 0.5 oz lemon juice 0.75 oz carrot juice 1 tsp cinnamon syrup 0.25 oz cane syrup 0.75 oz ginger syrup 0.25 oz pimento dram 0.5 oz connemara 1.5 oz johns lane

HALFPENNY
Again, this cocktail is based off of a dish; a warm hearty ginger spice carrot soup. The “Buck” was used as a starting point. The flavors chosen are aromatics that are found in ginger carrot soup; the all spice, ginger, cinnamon… Connemara was added later iterations to give another dimension similar to smoked roasted carrots.
Ha’penny was a slang term meaning Halfpenny used by the poor during the time of the Five points, however nobody would ever say it right if we named a drink “ha’penny”. It is a British currency of half of a penny. There is also the Halfpenny Bridge in Dublin that was built in the 1800’s.
Old Nick
1 Dash Burlesque Bitters
- 5 oz Lemon Juice
- 75 oz Blood Orange Juice
- 75 oz Fennel Syrup
- 25 oz DR Rum Blend
- 5 oz Jameson Black Barrel
Method:Shaken
Glassware:Smash Glass
Garnish:None
Origin:Jillian Vose, February 2015 Insert, Dead Rabbit
I wanted to put on a drink with blood orange. After some flavor research, drinks I’ve done in the past and some trials and tribulations, I came up with this funky whiskey sour variation. I usually despise orange juice in drinks because of it’s flabbiness, but blood oranges have a more unique character and acidic quality regular oranges don’t have, but it still needed some lemon to bump it up. The savory elements of the burlesque bitters went well with the funkiness of the Rum (which a little goes a long way in this drink).
Old Nick—another name for the devil
