Toasty's

This is a drink that is best enjoyed on the fringes of cold seasons as the weather is warming up or cooling off. Definitely perfect for spring to encourage the warmth! There’s been some rock solid rum drinks made around Germantown for a few years now but this one in particular is best enjoyed on a sunny patio with a burger or a hot dog, if you catch my drift.

Ingredients: White rum, Campari, strawberry allspice syrup, lime juice

Canary Club

We wanted to make something that captures the essence of Germantown, a close-knit community driven by neighborhood friends. The Breeze's Cold Brew, Campari, and a vino amaro paired with an Underberg ties together something quintessentially Germantown, an unlikely friendship that you'll grow to love. Best served with a buddy!

Ingredients: Underberg, Pasubio, Aperol, Cold Brew with Coconut and Vanilla

MerryWeather's AKA the Schnitzel-Bürd

This drink needed to skew German, or what the hell was the point!? Jagermeister was the first step, then. It had to be Kentucky, so bourbon was the next. To keep it tropical, as our house style suggests, pineapple followed. We then sought to craft a shaken Jagermeister sour that mimicked a Jungle Bird, but where rich honey stepped in for the sweet, and lemon stole the sour spotlight. Angostura bitters then added the spice, and so we could officially call it, dare we say, tiki. A spritz of Campari begins the glass.

Ingredients: Jagermeister, Bourbon, Pineapple, Honey, Lemon, Angostura, Spritz of Campari
