Oakside Cocktail Co. was founded by two good friends who love great cocktails, friends, and conversation... but don't always love playing bartender. Making one or two cocktails when entertaining is enjoyable, but after the second round it can get old. So one weekend, we started pre-batching Negronis – which our friends loved – and, as hoped, it allowed us to get away from the bar and into the party.
After a little more experimenting with ingredients, aging, and pre-batching cocktails at home, we realized that these cocktails solve another challenge too – why only drink great cocktails when we're out at the bar, or happen to have a full complement of ingredients close by? So many great places to drink with friends are too remote to make a great cocktail – at the beach or on a sailboat; at a picnic or around a bonfire.
So, we set out to make world-class cocktails that are ready to drink and completely portable. Take the bottle with you anywhere and pour a few for your friends. Introducing Oakside Cocktail Co. – all the taste, none of the hassle.
Rye Old Fashioned
 Two James Spirits' incomparable straight rye whiskey is the heart and soul of the Oakside Rye Old Fashioned.

This cocktail delivers a robust yet smooth cinnamon, citrus, and spice notes. Best served on the rocks.

Oakside Cocktails - Negroni
 Herbaceous and bright, the Oakside Negroni pairs the exquisite Two James Old Cockney Gin with a small-batch custom amaro from Don Ciccio & Figli. Tied together by a Californian sweet vermouth and citrus bitters from Vena's Fizz House, this Negroni is a touch sweeter than the more classic iteration featuring the cloyingly bitter Campari. This small batch recipe carries notes of coriander, pine, rhubarb, and grapefruit, and is balanced at 52 proof. Best served on the rocks.
INGREDIENTS: Two James Spirits' Old Cockney Gin (Michigan), Don Ciccio & Figli Amaro (Washington DC), Californian sweet vermouth, Bitters from Vena's Fizz House (Maine)

Oakside Cocktails - Manhattan
 Boozy but balanced, this is the perfect bourbon cocktail. Two James' Spirits three-year-aged bourbon, Grass Widow, is finished in Madeira casks, providing a potent core with a touch of sweetness. A custom amaro from Don Ciccio & Figli in Washington DC, Californian sweet vermouth, and orange bitters from Vena's Fizz House complement the bourbon and bring out notes of hazelnut and citrus. At 64 proof, the Oakside Manhattan can be served chilled or over ice.
