From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island.
VER SALE S
They may not pronounce French right in Kentucky, but they
make some lovely things to drink. Which we think means
they have their priorities straight.
THE UMBRELL AS
Why are there so many umbrellas in turn of the century paintings?
Did it rain more, or did no one know how to draw the tops of heads?
GR AND PRIX
Like the famous car race: tall, red, cold, and bitter.
Or is that like our ex-wife?

MARTINE Z
O.H. Byron, Modern Bartenders Guide, 1884. Reportedly invented for a
guest either coming from or going to Martinez. But you know what they
say about Martinezians: never know if theyre coming or going.
MAI TAI
Trader Vics Mai Tai, from Emeryville. Not that upstart, pretend, Los Angeles
Mai Tai. Gross. Seriously. Take your absinthe out of our tiki drink, you
Dodger-loving sons ofbut we digress. Drink this one. Yum.
JASMINE
Paul Harrington, Emeryville, sometime in the 90s.
LEMON DROP
Someone at Henry Africas, San Francisco, sometime in the 70s, but
honestly who can remember who did what in the 70s? Were lucky anyone
remembers the 70s at all. Especially anyone who went to Henry Africas.
PISCO PUNCH
THE San Francisco cocktail, from the turn of the century. Why, you
probably could get one in this very hotel. Everyone had a secret recipe,
and no ones talking. Ours is based on the in-depth research by local
barman Duggan McDonnell.
IRISH COFFEE
Stanton Deplane, Jack Koeppler, and George Freeberg,
Buena Vista Caf, San Francisco, 1952. Seems so simple,
but it took three guys to figure it out.

MINT JULEP
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Open the whisky, Tom, she ordered, and Ill make you a mint julep.
Then you wont seem so stupid to yourself... Look at the mint!
GIMLET
The Long Goodbye, Raymond Chandler.
What they call a gimlet is just some lime or lemon juice and gin with a dash
of sugar and bitters. A real gimlet is half gin and half Roses lime juice and
nothing else. It beats martinis hollow.
VE SPER
Casino Royale, Ian Fleming.
Gosh, thats certainly a drink, said Leiter. Bond laughed. When Im...er..
concentrating, he explained, I never have more than one drink before
dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and
very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they
taste bad. This drinks my own invention. Im going to patent it when I can
think of a good name.
WINE SPODIODI
On the Road, Jack Kerouac.
Dean and I had ended up with a guy named Walter who ordered drinks at
the bar and had them lined up and said, Wine Spodiodi! which was a shot
of port wine, a shot of whiskey, and a shot of port wine.
VETER AN
A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess.
When he came, all nervous and rubbing his rookers on
his grazzy apron, we ordered us four veterans.

PENDENNIS CLUB
Louisville, sometime around the turn of the century.
The club is still there. No one remembers where the drink came from.
TURF CLUB
New York, 1880s, or the Havana Country Club, 1930s. Whichever you prefer.
JOCKEY CLUB
Founded in 1750, in London, the Jockey Club owns some of the most
important race courses in England and was the regulator of the sport of
horse racing for more than 250 years. What this has to do with a slightly
nutty gin sour is beyond us, but here ya go.
EMBASSY CLUB
Hollywood, 1930s. Opened as a refuge for the stars, hidden behind
Caf Montmartre. Charlie Chaplin drank there. But he drank anywhere.
CLOVER CLUB
Philadelphia, 1890s. Probably actually from a hotel, but give us a break.
ARTISTS SPECIAL
Paris, 1920s. A bar on Rue Pigalle and haunt of
painters, writers, musicians, and other degenerates.
