Orchard & Oak
The Orchard and Oak blends classic whiskey notes with a fresh, fruity twist. This inviting libation combines the robust depth of whiskey with the sweet and vibrant essence of strawberry syrup. The inclusion of lemon verbena introduces a bright, zesty counterpoint, cutting through the sweetness without the tang of your typical sour. A touch of dry vermouth rounds out the profile, contributing subtle herbal and aromatic undertones that enhance the overall complexity without overpowering the primary ingredients. Served on the rocks, this cocktail is designed to be savored slowly, allowing the ice to gently mellow the flavors and the nuances to unfold with each sip. It's a perfect choice for those who appreciate the timeless character of a Manhattan or Old Fashioned but are seeking a more contemporary and fruit-forward experience.
