Recipes
A. J.
When Applejack meets grapefruit, magic happens. The A.J. Cocktail is a crisp two-ingredient classic that balances orchard-sweet warmth with bright citrus snap — a simple mid-century charmer that still feels fresh today.
Apricot Brandy Cream
The Apricot Brandy Cream Cocktail pairs fruity apricot brandy with rich cream and aromatic nutmeg in a simple dessert cocktail. Shaken until cold and frothy, it makes a smooth, easy after-dinner drink with a distinctly vintage feel.
Accordion
The Accordion is a spirit-forward brandy cocktail that combines sweet and dry vermouth with a touch of orange liqueur for a balanced, aromatic profile. Smooth, layered, and lightly citrusy, it sits between a Perfect Manhattan and a classic stirred cocktail.
Adam and Eve
A balanced blend of apple brandy, gin, Forbidden Fruit, and lemon creates a bold yet elegant sour. The Adam and Eve Cocktail delivers a crisp citrus bite wrapped in lush orchard sweetness.
After Supper Cocktail
The After Supper Cocktail pairs apricot brandy, orange curaçao, and fresh lemon in a short, fruit-forward classic served up and ice-cold. Documented in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, it lands sweet, citrusy, and polished enough for after-dinner sipping.
Al Capone
The Al Capone cocktail combines brandy, Marsala, and a dash of Drambuie® for a compact, spirit-forward drink with fruit, fortified-wine richness, honey, and spice. Shaken and served up in a Nick & Nora, it makes a distinctive after-dinner pour.
Alhambra Royale
The Alhambra Royale marries rich hot chocolate with aromatic cognac and orange peel, then finishes with whipped cream for pure winter indulgence. A decadent, fireside-ready drink with European heritage.
Ambrosia
The Ambrosia is a sparkling applejack and brandy cocktail with orange liqueur, fresh lemon, and a crisp Champagne finish. Shaken and served in a flute, it balances rich fruit, bright citrus, and lively bubbles.
American Beauty
A refined brandy cocktail layered with orange, grenadine, and a delicate port float, the American Beauty delivers a balanced mix of citrus, sweetness, and aromatic depth in a classic presentation.
American Pie
The American Pie Cocktail mixes brandy, tawny port, fresh orange juice, and a restrained touch of mint. Rich fruit, dry herbal notes, and bright citrus make this vintage-inspired coupe an unusual but balanced after-dinner drink.
Anatole Coffee
A chilled coffee cocktail blending cognac, coffee liqueur, and hazelnut liqueur with cold brew and cream. The Anatole Coffee delivers smooth, nutty sweetness in a relaxed, dessert-style iced drink.
Andalusia
A spirit-forward cocktail built on brandy, light rum, and dry sherry, the Andalusia delivers a layered, nutty profile with a clean, dry finish. Ideal for slow sipping and fans of fortified wine-driven drinks.
