Announcing our October Contest!

The Perfect Classic Cocktail for Fall & Winter!

 

 

Bartender Jon Connor

 

Bartender Jon Connor notes that the martini, in all its variations, is still the most popular cocktail at The Dry Dock. However, there has been a renaissance of the “classic cocktail”. Here’s one for your consideration:

“The Suburban”

 

1.5 ounces rye whisky

½ ounce dark rum

½ ounce port

1 dash orange bitters

1 dash Angostura bitters 

Stir well with cracked ice, and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass

The Suburban, which dates from the the rococo age of American drinking (1875-1920), is a most atypical concoction. I mean, rye, dark rum and port?? Really??

Yet somehow it works! With less of a bite than The Manhattan, the blending of The Suburban's ingredients creates a smooth taste ~ the rum mellows the tang of the rye, the port tames the raw edge of the distillates, and the bitters add a touch of the exotic.

A nice fall/winter cocktail ...

come by and let Jon make one for you!
