Seasonal Fall Drinks

New seasonal drinks have arrived at The Rutledge! We are so excited to introduce The Black Widow Smash, Fall Fashion, and Cassis Royale for a limited time! This fall, trade your usual pour for something truly special. Here is your guide to the three limited-time cocktails hitting our menu now.

The Black Widow Smash 

The Star: This drink leads with a unique pairing of Lunazul Reposado and 400 Conejos Mezcal. The aged tequila provides warmth while the mezcal brings that essential, smoky depth.

The Profile: The intensity of the liquor is beautifully balanced by rich Blackberry Syrup and soothing Honey Syrup, with just a dash of orange bitters to tie the flavors together.

The Order: If you favor an Old Fashioned or a Smoky Margarita, this is your sophisticated upgrade for the season.

The Finish: A lime and blackberry flag to signal the darkness and depth of this stunning smash.

The Cassis Royale

The Vibe: Elegant, celebratory, and light.

The Taste Profile: Sweet hibiscus and tart lemon are balanced by the deep, dark berry notes of Crème de Cassis. It is then filled with Lucien Albrecht, turning this into a beautifully bubbly, blush-hued welcome to autumn.

Perfect Pair: The ideal partner for our fresh oysters or a crisp salad before moving to your main course.

The Finish: Skewered blackberries add a final touch of color and flavor.

The Fall Fashion

The Base: We start with Revelette Bourbon (Black Label), a rich, complex spirit that can stand up to the accompanying fruit and citrus notes.

The Profile: This is a sophisticated blend of bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup, enhanced by two luxurious liqueurs: Crème de Cassis (black currant) and Chambord (raspberry liqueur). The result is a vibrant, subtly sweet, and complex take on a classic sour.

Perfect Pair: This cocktail is built to complement our wood-fired steaks or our heavier, richer main courses.

The Finish: Garnished with a lemon wheel and an aromatic Rosemary flag, making it the most photogenic accessory for your dinner attire.
