  • Rye Whiskey

    Country: United States 

    ABV:  90 proof/45% 

    Brand: Diageo Company 

    Spirits Type: Rye Whiskey 

    Taste: Tobacco, Black Cherry, Peach, Spice 

    Price Category: $$ 

    Bulleit Rye is made with a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley distilled, and aged in American White Oak barrels.  The immediate flavor you will get from rye whiskey is it's punchy spice, vanilla extract bitterness and warming sensation.  After you get passed the rye spice,  woody and ceder notes come through and if you search hard enough, you will get freshly baked dough boy crescents. 

  • Lemon Juice

    5-6% acidity 

    Less acidic than lime juice, lemon juice will add enough acidity to brighten flavors without overpowering when balanced with sweetness.   Usually our preference when needing acid to emulsify with egg white,  aquafaba or cream. 

  • Maple Syrup

    A natural sweetener made from tree sap.  Maple Syrup will bring out wood and straw notes in a spirit while adding sweetness stronger than simple syrup. 

  • Aquafaba

    An Egg White Substitute for cocktails.  Aquafaba offers a silky texture that is slightly savory and can be aerated or shaken to create a cocktail foam.   

    To Make It: 

    1- 15 oz can Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas 1  

     barspoon Cream of Tartar   

    Strain out the chickpeas using a fine mesh strainer. Pour chickpea brine in a clean and dry condiment bottle, add 1 tsp cream of tartar and stir gently to combine. Seal and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. * A note on using aquafaba for cocktails: Gently swirl prepared aquafaba before use to redistribute the settled cream of tartar; acid such as citrus juice will be necessary for frothing emulsion.

  • Orange Bitters

    Country: Trinidad and Tobago 

    ABV: 90 proof/45%  

    Brand: House of Angostura 

    Spirits Bitters 

    Taste: Citrus, Baking Spices and Vanilla 

    Price Category: $ 

    Bitters are made by concentrating flavors into an alcohol base.  Orange bitters vary by brand, but are generally made with bitter orange peel, cardamom, caraway, coriander, anise and toasted sugar.

  • Fresh Thyme

    Herbal, earthy, with a subtle mint note, fresh thyme can be quickly used in a cocktail by muddling and as an aromatic garnish on the side of a glass.  

  • Salt/Saline

    Salt/Saline is a great flavor booster.  It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail.  It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid. 

    A pinch of salt can be added to the cocktail, but for consistency, saline is easy to make and allows more control.  

    To Make It:  

    2 oz (60mL) Distilled or Purified Water 

    1 Tbsp (15g) Fine Sea Salt 

    Combine in a jar and shake vigorously.  Once salt is dissolved, pour into a dropper bottle.

Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands drifts through a dreamscape where a lonely Gothic castle casts its shadow over a pastel suburb that fears anything it cannot understand. Born from the unfinished work of a mysterious inventor, Edward emerges as a pale, tragic figure whose razor-sharp hands create haunting works of beauty while ensuring he can never truly touch the world around him. As curious neighbors transform admiration into suspicion, the film peels back the polished face of ordinary life to reveal the monsters hiding beneath perfect smiles. Edward's doomed romance with Kim becomes the dark heart of the story, proving that some loves are destined to exist only in memory, snowfall, and whispered legends. In the end, Tim Burton crafts a modern Gothic fairy tale where the outsider remains alone in his crumbling sanctuary, creating fragile beauty from sorrow while the world below forgets what innocence looked like.
