Classic Cocktails
Run for the Roses’ classic cocktails menu is crafted as a deck of cards, where each card represents a thoughtfully designed drink based on its historical reference. The number on each card signifies the cocktail’s base spirit, covering the spectrum from gin and vodka to whiskey, tequila, and more. This offers guests a curated variety of classic cocktail foundations, with each base spirit precisely balanced to create unique versions of familiar favorites.
The suits add another layer, indicating the drink’s character within its spirit category. Ladybugs and rabbits represent cocktails with lighter, more refreshing profiles, perfect for a soft, vibrant sipping experience. Wishbones and dice lean toward a boozier, more spirit-forward style, giving these drinks a robust, deep flavor designed for those who enjoy the strength of a classic spirit-forward cocktail.
The menu also features exclusive “reserve” cocktails for the Jacks, Queens, and Kings, utilizing vintage and rare spirits that elevate these selections to an even more refined level. These drinks offer a glimpse into the artistry behind historic bottles, perfect for guests who appreciate nuanced, luxury spirits and memorable, elevated flavors..
Seasonal Delights
Our seasonal cocktail program is designed around freshness, balance, and sustainability. By sourcing peak-season ingredients and using techniques like acid adjustment, we create flavors that are bright and precise, minimizing the need for fresh citrus, which can often be a source of waste. Super juice extraction, for example, uses the full fruit—peel, pith, and juice—to maximize flavor while reducing ingredient loss. This method lets us capture the bold, natural essence of each fruit without relying solely on traditional squeezing methods, delivering nuanced flavors in a way that’s both resourceful and true to the ingredient.
In addition, techniques like force carbonation allow us to create a controlled, light effervescence that enhances the flavors in each cocktail without adding extra syrups or sugars. We extend our zero-waste approach to garnishes and syrups, where we find creative uses for every part of the produce, often turning botanical scraps into infused syrups or dehydrated garnishes that elevate both flavor and presentation. This way, our cocktails reflect a mindful approach to drink-making—where each ingredient and technique is carefully chosen to serve the season, reduce waste, and let the natural qualities of each component shine through..
