Brown Derby Cocktail

History has it that the Brown Derby was invented at the Vendome Club in Hollywood, CA in the early 1930's.  It was named after the iconic celebrity hangout at Sunset and Vine, the immortal vestige of 1930's glitz and glamour, THE place to see and be seen in Hollywood..  the legendary and infamous Brown Derby Restaurant.

We made our Brown Derby using our S.O.B Bourbon to begin with, (so you know it is going to be damned smooth), then added fresh grapefruit juice and a hint of our proprietary distillers sugar to add that sweet like honey quality.  Just chill, shake, pour into a waiting glass for a cocktail that is sure to please the senses any season.

Our version marries rich bourbon (Arthur’s own blend) with fresh grapefruit juice and a subtle sweetener created in-house for perfect balance. The result is lively and complex—sharp citrus, mellowed by barrel-aged spirit and softened by a touch of vanilla.

It’s the kind of cocktail that makes you sit back and smile.

We Love It In: coupe glass with a grapefruit twist, paired with a sunset or jazz in the background.
