Recipes
Martini
The Martini is a classic IBA cocktail built from gin and dry vermouth, stirred cold and served straight up. Its dry, botanical character puts ingredient quality, precise dilution, and a simple lemon or olive garnish front and center.
Medium Martini
A balanced twist on the classic Martini that blends gin with both dry and sweet vermouth for a smooth, aromatic sip that’s neither too dry nor too sweet.
Palm Beach Cocktail
The Palm Beach Cocktail combines gin, grapefruit juice, and sweet vermouth in a compact 1930s cocktail with botanical depth, tart citrus, and a gently bittersweet finish. Shaken and served up, it lands between a Martini-style drink and a citrus-forward aperitif.
Papaya Sling
Unwind with the Papaya Sling Cocktail, a tropical twist on the classic gin sling. Smooth papaya purée, cherry brandy, and a splash of soda deliver a bright, fruit-forward drink that’s equal parts refreshing and adventurous.
Paradise Cocktail
The Paradise Cocktail is a classic IBA gin cocktail pairing botanical gin with fruity apricot brandy and fresh orange juice. Shaken and served up, it is bright, lightly sweet, and remarkably simple.
Penguin
The Penguin cocktail is an equal-parts mix of gin, Bénédictine, and maraschino liqueur with crisp botanicals, layered herbs, and subtle cherry-almond sweetness. Shaken and served up, it is a compact classic for drinkers who enjoy spirit-forward cocktails with an herbal edge.
Ramos Fizz
The Ramos Fizz is a New Orleans gin classic with citrus, cream, egg white, vanilla, orange flower water, and soda. Its signature combination of bright acidity, creamy texture, and towering foam makes it one of the most distinctive drinks in the IBA canon.
Ruby In The Rough
A ruby-hued cocktail where gin’s botanicals meet the lush sweetness of cherry brandy and the herbal depth of sweet vermouth. Stirred and elegant, the Ruby In The Rough is a smooth, spirit-forward classic for refined evenings.
Silver Fizz
The Silver Fizz is a classic gin cocktail with fresh lemon, simple syrup, silky egg white foam, and a crisp splash of carbonated water. It combines bright citrus and botanical gin with a soft, frothy texture.
Southern Gin Cocktail
A crisp, spirit-forward gin cocktail with orange liqueur and bitters, this citrus-driven Martini-style drink delivers bright aromatics and a clean, balanced finish.
Sphinx Cocktail
A refined Martini variation, the Sphinx Cocktail blends gin with both sweet and dry vermouth for a smooth, balanced, and aromatic classic with a subtle bittersweet edge.
Suffering Bastard
Suffering Bastard combines Cognac, gin, lime, Angostura bitters, and ginger beer in the current IBA version of this World War II-era classic. Crisp citrus, aromatic spirits, bitters, and spicy ginger make it a long cocktail with considerably more history than its playful name suggests.
