Classic cocktails

Tags Bar

I love classic cocktails as well as updated variations on the theme. There is a reason classic cocktails are considered classic. Because the rock! There is no such thing as an apple martini, it’s a shooter in a glass. I think maybe too many people got into fights with plastic bottles of whiskey and or gin in the college years, and may be scared. Be assured that drinking a manhattan with rye whiskey, vermouth, blood orange bitters and homemade maraschino cherries can make even the worst day seem somehow ok. A plymouth martini with a twist of lemon can refresh even the most tired soul. A millers gin aviation with the juice from the homemade maraschino cherries, can make you squeal like a child getting a big glass of coolaid on a hot summer day. When you drink a great cocktail put together by a great mixologist, everything is in balance. You are more likely to sit back, relax and enjoy the flavors as they linger on your lips as opposed to slamming it down your neck trying to see how many you can drink before you are cut off and try to forgive yourself tomorrow morining. Please give yourself the treat of sitting at the bar here at Ombi or at one of the other great experienced bartenders here in town, and give them the chance to muddle their way into your heart.
