Armed Robbery
This cocktail from The Watson is warming and fragrant with smoke, honey, walnuts and buttery shortbread. Note that the whisky will take two days to infuse before you can make the cocktail.
Canopy
Here’s what Suyo Modern Peruvian‘s Max Curzon-Price and Andrew Kong have to say about this refreshing drink: “Canopy is a cocktail resonant of being above the spanning, cacophonous canopy of the Amazon. As tropical rainstorms roll across a sea of green leaves and blot out the blue skies, they bring rains washing away yesterday and soaking new life taking root in the undergrowth.”
Gimlet
The classic Gimlet is simply half gin and half Rose’s Lime Juice. Although Raymond Chandler declared, “It beats Martinis hollow,” in his 1954 noir novel The Long Goodbye, it can be a bit sweet and unbalanced for modern palates, which is why we prefer the “refreshed” version below.
Singapore Sling
The Singapore Sling is the king of tropical cocktails. It was created at Raffles Hotel in 1915, but its heyday was arguably in the 1950s and ’60s. Forget the overly sweet versions you may have encountered; the original is complex and refreshing, perfect for a sultry tropical day.
Greyhound
When made with quality ingredients, this vodka highball is refreshing, versatile and delicious—and as easy to make as it is to enjoy.
2 oz vodka
4 oz freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
Garnish: Grapefruit peel or wedge
Optional: Salted rim (for a Salty Dog)
Optional: 0.5 oz Campari (for an Italian Greyhound)
