A story
in every pour.
Five rituals, composed for the bourbon born from botany. Each serve is a small act of attention — measured, unhurried, deserving of the hour you give it.
The bourbon is the beginning. What follows is the discipline of restraint — the right glass, the right temperature, the right silence between sips. These are not cocktails. They are compositions.
The Golden Hour
Peach, lime and late light — poured by the pitcher.
Golden Hour isn't a place. It's a countdown.
For roughly 20 minutes every evening, the sun softens, conversations slow, and ordinary moments suddenly feel cinematic. Photographers chase it. Filmmakers schedule entire productions around it. Most people barely notice it's happening until it's gone.
We wanted to bottle that feeling.
Created by our co-founder and liquid curator, The Golden Hour balances ripe peach, fresh lime, sparkling soda, and Edmond's Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon into something that feels effortlessly luxurious. Bright enough for the afternoon. Rich enough for the evening. Sophisticated enough for whatever comes next.
Like the moment that inspired it, it never asks for your attention. It simply earns it.
- 1.5 oz Edmond's Honor
- 4 oz Simply Peach
- Squeeze of lime wedge
- Splash of soda
Build over ice in a tall glass. Add Edmond's Honor and peach, squeeze the lime wedge, then top with a splash of soda and stir once.
Fresh peach slice.
Albius Manhattan
An ode to vanilla's quiet author.
The Manhattan became famous. The man who inspired ours never did.
For more than 150 years, the Manhattan has symbolized sophistication — born in New York's elite social circles and poured anywhere elegance is expected. But while the cocktail's creators became legend, another innovator from the same century remained largely forgotten.
Edmond Albius changed the future of vanilla forever. At just twelve years old, his discovery transformed global agriculture, making Madagascar the home of the world's finest vanilla. Yet most people have enjoyed the flavor thousands of times without ever hearing his name.
That's why we renamed the cocktail. The Albius Manhattan layers Edmond's Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon with sweet vermouth and bitters, allowing vanilla, French oak, and warm spice to smooth every edge. It's a Manhattan that finally tells a story worthy of its name.
Some legends deserve to be poured.
- 2 oz Edmond's Honor
- 0.75 oz Blanc Vermouth
- 0.25 oz Elderflower Liqueur
- 2 dashes Orange Bitters
Add all ingredients to a stirring pitcher. Add ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a martini glass or rocks glass.
Expressed orange peel.
Madagascar Mule
Island botany meets copper-cool ginger.
Everyone thinks the Moscow Mule was born in Russia. It wasn't.
It was invented in Los Angeles by three people who were all trying to solve completely different problems. One had too much vodka no one wanted to drink. Another had warehouses full of ginger beer that wouldn't sell. The third couldn't convince anyone to buy copper mugs. What looked like three failing businesses accidentally became one of the most successful cocktails in history.
Sometimes the world's most iconic creations aren't planned — they're improvised.
Exactly 100 years before that chance encounter, another unlikely breakthrough changed the way the world tastes. In 1841, a 12-year-old enslaved botanist named Edmond Albius discovered the hand-pollination technique that made vanilla cultivation possible, unlocking one of the world's most treasured flavors.
The Madagascar Mule brings those two unlikely stories together. Edmond's Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon replaces vodka, allowing warm vanilla, toasted oak, and rich caramel to soften ginger's fiery edge. The result is familiar at first sip — but entirely unexpected by the last.
- 1.5 oz Edmond's Honor
- 0.75 oz fresh Lime Juice
- 0.75 oz Pineapple Syrup*
- 3 oz Ginger Beer
Add all ingredients except the ginger beer into a tin with ice. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Top with ginger beer.
Pineapple leaf or slice.
*Pineapple Syrup: Heat 1 cup pineapple juice and 1 cup demerara sugar until dissolved. Seal and refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
Espresso Martini
Vanilla, coffee, candlelight.
The Espresso Martini wasn't created for coffee lovers. It was created because someone wanted to stay out later.
In the early 1980s, a world-famous model walked into a London bar and asked legendary bartender Dick Bradsell for something that would “wake me up, then…” — well, finish the night with equal energy. He reached for fresh espresso and vodka, shook them together, and unknowingly created one of the most copied cocktails in modern history.
It was never about coffee. It was about momentum.
Edmond's Honor gives that momentum a richer story. Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon replaces vodka, wrapping roasted espresso in notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spice — a pairing that feels less like a cocktail and more like dessert disguised as nightlife.
Some drinks start the evening. This one refuses to let it end.
- 2 oz Edmond's Honor
- 0.5 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 0.5 oz Vanilla Syrup*
- 1 oz Espresso
Add all ingredients to an ice-filled tin. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Three coffee beans.
*Vanilla Syrup: Add ½ tbsp vanilla to ½ cup hot water and ½ cup brown sugar. Stir until dissolved.
Old Fashioned
The serve. Unhurried, uncompromised.
The Old Fashioned isn't old because of its recipe. It's old because it survived every trend that tried to replace it.
Before cocktails became colorful, smoky, frozen, or flamboyant, there was simply the “Whiskey Cocktail” — spirits, sugar, bitters, and water. As bartenders chased increasingly elaborate creations throughout the 1800s, traditionalists began asking for drinks made the “old-fashioned way.” Ironically, the simplest cocktail on the menu became the one that never went out of style.
That's because there's nowhere to hide. Every ingredient has to earn its place.
Edmond's Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon was built for exactly this stage. Layers of toasted oak, wild honey, and Madagascar vanilla create the richness many bartenders spend extra sugar trying to achieve. Less decoration. More character.
Sometimes simplicity is the hardest thing to perfect.
- 2 oz Edmond's Honor
- 1 barspoon Vanilla Syrup
- 2 dashes Cocoa Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Stir well with ice until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
Express a flamed orange peel over the drink, then drop it in.
Spiced Apple Sour
Orchard, hearth, and a whisper of allspice.
The Sour wasn't invented for pleasure. It was invented for survival.
Long before it became a staple of cocktail bars, sailors mixed spirits with citrus simply to prevent scurvy during months at sea. What began as medicine eventually found its way ashore, where legendary bartender Jerry Thomas transformed a survival formula into one of cocktail history's greatest templates.
The drink changed. Its balance never did.
Our Spiced Apple Sour takes that centuries-old blueprint somewhere entirely new. Crisp apple, fresh lemon, and baking spices create the feeling of autumn's first cold evening, while Edmond's Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon melts into every layer with warm vanilla and oak.
A cocktail that once kept sailors alive now reminds us why slowing down is worth celebrating.
