Take the sidecar, a cosmopolitan, and a margarita and turn it into one cocktail? You get the crusta. Funny name, but this tasty concoction reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, was developed in New Orleans at the Jewel of the South bar the 1850's that fizzled in the prohibition. Cognac, Grand Marnier, Maraschino Liqueur, Simple Syrup, Lemon Juice, Angostura Bitters

Henry C. Ramos, in the 1880's, said, "I need a cocktail I can shake for 12 minutes". Enter the Ramos Gin Fizz. A Classic New Orleans style cocktail, the secret lies in the orange blossom water and the egg whites. Citrusy, and smooth with a little' fizz". We keep the classic going without the marathon shaking, but its still delicious and fun. Gin, Lemon, Lime, Simple Syrup, Cream, Orange Blossom Water, Egg White, Soda

The evolutionary link between the Manhattan and the Martini, this gin and maraschino liqueur cocktail is as old as time. Strong but balanced and a must try for those that want that classic feel with a touch of sweetness. Old Tom Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Maraschino Liqueur, Orange Bitters

Like its big New York brother, the Brooklyn was named for one of the five boroughs. A little cloudier than its actual appearance is the origin. Some say from the 1880's, others say that today's version is from the 1960's or 70's. But this we know, its approachable with subtle sweetness and herbal properties, and just as good as its big brother, the Manhattan. Rye, Dry Vermouth, Maraschino Liqueur, Ramazzotti liqueur

First mentioned in a 1905 New York Newspaper, although conflicts on who was its inventor, the Jack Rose cocktail is a classic cocktail known for its smoothness and its signature rose color. Lairds' Apple Brandy, Grenadine, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Peychauds

The cocktail hails from Cuba, and is thought to have gained its popularity in the 40's when whiskey and vodka were hard to come by due to wartime rationing. This classic cocktail were favorites to Ernest Hemingway and JFK. Bacardi Silver Rum, Simple Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice

Based on a 1920's silent film of a bullfighter, this easy to drink cocktail gives you a glimpse into the tastes of cocktail experts of past. It has a complex of fruity and smoky and is also equally strange and delicious. Scotch, Sweet Vermouth, Cherry Heering Liqueur, Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

An easy and sophisticated sipper, a Rusty Nail is a simple classic cocktail that goes down smooth. Historians point to 1937 as the first cocktail appearance, but the classic took off in the 60's. Scotch, Drambuie, Angostura Bitters

Created at the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia for literary, legal, financial, and business lights of the Quaker City, this rare gin and raspberry cocktail becomes balanced as the egg white and lemon add to its cool and crispness. Gin, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Raspberries, Egg White
