Cocktail Recipes

The Cable Car is a modern variant of the classic Sidecar. Traditionally made with a spiced rum, orange curacao and lemon sour. Our Dry Land version opts for a spiced version of our own Aged Cane Rum, giving it added depth of flavor and using our favorite local orange liqueur from Grovestreet Alchemy. 

One of our favorite morning beverages is a London Fog. When one of our guest entrances to our Annual 'Nog Off did a take on a London Fog 'Nog, we realized what a happy pairing our Heirloom Wheat Whiskey makes with Earl Grey.  In harmony with the abundance of spring and early summer wild flowers this year, this recipe pays homage to the Colorado mountainsides that seemed to explode with color, due to this year's uncanny London-like weather.

The Singapore Sling originated in Singapore at the historic Raffles Hotel around the same time the Sidecar came into existence.The Dry Land version is a thoughtful and careful recreation of the ones Nels had in Singapore - refreshing, layered, and thoroughly delightful.

The Penicillin is a modern classic that is considered to be one of “the most well-traveled and renowned new cocktails of the 21st century.” The medicinal name is a nod to ginger and honey, both being a comforting elixir when sick.

It combines the richness of our house made adobo with the smoky complexity of our Cactus Spirit to create a delicious and spicy treat.

Our smoky margarita is consistently our top seller at the dry land distillers tasting room. It’s a fresh, bright margarita, similar to a coin-style marg.

Swap our Dry Land Distillers Cactus Reposado for whiskey in this twist on a classic Old Fashioned.
