In this intensified Sidecar, Jonny Raglin replaces the orange curaçao with pear and ginger liqueurs and uses two bonded (aged, 100-proof) spirits: Laird's apple brandy and Rittenhouse rye whiskey, which Raglin says tastes like "pumpernickel spice."

Northern Standard

go to recipe

This drink takes your usual Manhattan up a notch thanks to three different bitter elements. Created by mixologist James Ives, the Northern Standard is a full-flavored cocktail that uses Knob Creek rye aged in charred barrels to balance out the richness of Carpano. It's equally strong as it is smooth.
