Indeed not the simplest tiki classic (pictured with ingredients at left); this is one of a handful of tiki classics with its namesake glassware. I haven’t picked up any Fogg Cutter mugs yet (we don’t have room for much more glassware!), but it sure is lovely.

The Ticonderoga Cup

Quarantine Cocktails

One of my favorite restaurants here in Atlanta is a little place tucked inside the popular Krog Street Market in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward — the Ticonderoga Club. Founded by Regan Smith and Greg Best, Greg single-handedly launched Atlanta’s cocktail renaissance in 2014 running the bar at Holeman & Finch. This take on the julep is their namesake drink and features pineapple syrup, sherry, and aged rum. Try it – I promise you will love it.
