Cocktails

  • The Potent Paradox (19) — Old Forester 1897, Laird's apple brandy, bianco vermouth, Aperol, bitters. A Boulevardier, lighter on its feet - aged in solera, a Kali classic
  • Classic Martini (24) — 5oz customizable martini. Choose your spirit (gin: Four Pillars Olive Leaf, Nikka, G'Vine Nouaison, Martun Miller's Westbourne or vodka: Blue Ice, Verita), style (dry/wet/dirty), and garnish (classic/seasonal/modern)
  • The Martinez (19) — Barr Hill gin, Foro Vermouth di Torino, Luxardo maraschino, orange bitters. One of the earliest precursors to the Martini - rich, aromatic, and steeped in history
