London dry Gin, Cointreau, Lemon, Sugar
(Bright, clean, palate cleansing first cocktail showcasing the importance of balance of citrus/sweet) - shaken
Food pairing: Seared Scallop
-Brooklyn (Classic)-
Rye, Maraschino, Dry Vermouth, Ramazotti
(A spirit forward follow up that is a close cousin of the Manhattan, and is the NY steak of this tasting menu; robust and savoury) – stirred
Food pairing: Braised beef cheek au jus
-First Word (House cocktail)-
Reposado Tequila, Lemon, June liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
(An interesting floral/herbaceous tequila sour to finish; an example of how complexity can boost how we think about what we are drinking.)

Food bites will be served in a small dish or ceramic spoon. Each “bite” will be fully composed. There may be a sorbet served between the Brooklyn and First Word as a palate cleanser.
