Batman is a man who owns a black cave, drives a black car, and wears a black cape. His cocktail menu is going to lean dark. This collection runs from the Wayne Manor mainstays (Alfred’s impeccable martini, Bruce’s bourbon old fashioned) to the streets of Gotham (Joker antidote shots, Bat-Signal highballs).
Inside: Dark Knight Old Fashioned (dark bourbon, smoked sugar, one massive black ice sphere), Bat-Signal Spotlight Cocktail (yellow-on-black layered shot), Gotham City Smash (black rum, blackberry, smoky), Bruce Wayne’s Private Reserve (a Rolls-Royce of a Manhattan), Alfred’s Martini (perfectly stirred, shaken would be a disappointment), and Penguin’s Tuxedo Shot (layered black and white).
