STATESIDE SOUR

Features:
Rieger Vodka

SEE RECIPE
This is a sour style cocktail using an almond based syrup to provide addition texture beyond what is provided by our Premium Wheat Vodka. From start to finish this cocktail has a cooling mint experience followed by a hint of nuttiness and bright lime.

THE BARN OWL

Features:
Kansas City Whiskey

SEE RECIPE
A comforting and familiar richness lead by our very own Kansas City Whiskey. Followed by the bright citrusy notes of the orange liqueur harmonizing with the heat and depth of flavor of both the apple brandy and the chipotle cacao bitters. A true bridge between the frosty chill of the new year, and the crisp awakening of springtime.

THE HANKY PANKY

Features: Rieger Gin

SEE RECIPE
In 1903, Ada Coleman, better known as “Coley” to her regular guests, became the first-ever female Head Bartender at the legendary “American Bar at The Savoy Hotel” in London. Her most recognized drink, the Hanky Panky, became a renowned classic, and her role and accomplishments have inspired a great number of bartenders for generations since then. We are paying tribute to Ada with this riff on her classic Hanky Panky, using Rieger’s Midwestern Dry Gin and Caffè Amaro.

THE USUAL

Features:
Rieger Vodka

SEE RECIPE
It reads like it tastes…tropical and crushable. The combination of banana and orange liqueur with the base spirit make this cocktail perfect for anyone looking to escape the heat.

WHISKEY SMASH

Features:
Rieger Straight Bourbon

SEE RECIPE
The Whiskey Smash was listed in a bartender guide published in 1887, the same year our distillery was founded. Our Whiskey Smash is a riff on the original cocktail including our Bottled in Bond Bourbon, simply syrup, lemon and mint.

STONE FENCE

Features: Rieger Straight Rye Whiskey

SEE RECIPE
The Stone Fence is a rustic classic that blends the bold spice of rye whiskey with the crisp, refreshing taste of hard cider. Simple yet flavorful, this cocktail has its roots in early American history and remains a perfect balance of warmth and brightness. It's an ideal choice for sipping in any season, evoking a sense of timeless tradition.

THE COMBER

Features:
Rieger Vodka

SEE RECIPE
Everyone has heard of the brunch cocktails with "breeze" somewhere in the name. Our version of the Bay Breeze takes its name from one of the legandary oceanside beach bars along the eastern shore of Cape Cod, MA.

THE RIEGER CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

Features:
Kansas City Whiskey

SEE RECIPE
This is a slight take on a modern/classic cocktail called the Seelbach. Technique is vital on this drink in order to achieve the proper temperature and mouthfeel.

WARD EIGHT

Features: Rieger Straight Rye Whiskey

SEE RECIPE
The Ward Eight is a classic cocktail with bold, spicy rye whiskey balanced by the bright citrus of orange and lemon juices and a hint of grenadine for sweetness. With its roots in late 19th-century Boston, this drink is a timeless tribute to pre-Prohibition mixology and enduring sophistication.
