Chemist American Gin and Cocchi Americano mingle with a house-made berry shrub of apple cider vinegar, maple, sage, and rosemary. Sparkling wine brings a lively effervescence that balances the fruit, herbs, and gentle acidity.

The Chemist Old Fashioned

The original definition of a cocktail: “Spirit, sugar, water, and bitters,” made here with Chemist Spirits whiskey, aromatic bitters, Demerara, and orange. Simple, balanced, and elegant, garnished with an orange peel and a cherry.
