New Fall Cocktail Menu at Windsor

Although Mother Nature has not quite flipped the switch over to Fall weather here in the Valley, technically we are all up in Autumn! While you may not be all about boots, scarves and all the hot chocolate you can swallow, the Valley’s bars and restaurants are making the switch in their cocktail menus. What that means for most is a move from the refreshing, cooling drinks to those with a more soothing appeal. If you’re a fan of Windsor (and who isn’t?) and bold and hearty flavors in your cocktails, get ready to adore their new fall cocktail menu. And don’t worry, no pumpkin spice here!

New Fall Cocktail Menu at Windsor

Cocktail No. 36 | Kentucky Bourbon/ Dolin Rouge Vermouth/ Iconic Spiced Honey/ Lustau Sherry/ Spiced Honey Lolipop Garnish
The #36 is a riff on the classic Manhattan, bolstered by locally-made Iconic Cocktail Co. Spiced Honey Syrup, along with Oloroso and PX Sherries, which add complex notes of Plum Jam, Maple, and Tobacco.

Cocktail No. 40 | Dominican and Demerara Rums/ Strawberry Syrup/ Cocchi Barolo Chinato/ Sombra Mezcal/ Fresh Lime Juice/ Strawberry Garnish
Cocktail #40 is just plain dreamy. Base spirits of pot still rum and mezcal are tempered by ripe strawberry syrup, along with Cocchi Barolo Chinato, which is based on the Nebbiolo grape and crafted from a 120-year-old recipe. Infused with Quinine, Rhubarb, Ginger, Cardamom, Cocoa, and other aromatic spices, it’s the Ferrari of Italian dessert wines.

Cocktail No. 77 | Kentucky Bourbon/ Cutty Sark Scotch/ Fernet Branca/ Lime Juice/ Iconic Ginger Syrup/ Reeds Ginger Brew/ Candied Ginger Garnish
#77 has roots in bartender Manny Pena’s appreciation for Fernet Branca, and the complexity its’ 27 secret ingredients bring to a libation.

Cocktail No. 83 | Chamomile-Infused Kentucky Bourbon/ Gin/ Lime Juice/ House Mango Syrup/ Reeds Ginger Brew/ Luxardo Amaro/ Mint Sprig Garnish
Cocktail #83 was born from our love of infusing spirits with Chamomile in this case Bourbon. Sharing the limelight with Gin, Mango, Ginger and Amaro (a not so bitter version made with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Bitter Orange Peel), this cocktail is both layered and incredibly gulp-able.
