This cocktail was made at Tark’s Grill, which is located in an area affectionately referred to as the “The Station.” So if you are from out of town, the formal name is Greenspring Station.

Tark’s is a favorite of many in the Lutherville area. On warm days and nights you can eat outside in the courtyard surrounded by flowers, bushes and a water fountain. What better way to woo your girl, than to dine outside with that ambiance? Inside there are three parts to the restaurant: the formal seating area, the bar with its own eating area and a private eating area. Tark’s Grill is modeled on the traditional American Bistro with an emphasis on succulent aged steaks and local seafood favorites.

Will Shriver our bartender in this video has been in the industry for seven years. Despite making a classic rather than a true signature cocktail for this video, Will does enjoy creating his own cocktails, and has a good ear to figure out what guests want, if they have something in mind.

“Mint Julep,” a cocktail known for its association with Triple Crown, is also a great summer cocktail, that is very refreshing, especially if you live in Baltimore with its humid evenings. Fresh mint combines with the smoky flavor of the bourbon and the mild sweet taste of the mint-infused simple syrup for a balanced beverage.

Side Note: How to make Mint infused Demerara syrup:

Equal parts Demerara sugar and water, bring to boil and add fresh mint. Let it steep for 2 hours, strain mint. Enjoy!

This cocktail can best be described as a blend of seasonal flavors in which mint, caramel apple, and vanilla prevail. I would have to say this is a great fall cocktail.

Ouzo Bay is located in Harbor East, which is a great little area of shops, restaurants and hotels. Ouzo Bay specializes in Greek cuisine and an assortment of signature cocktails that should suit everyone’s taste. They go that extra mile by serving a complimentary after dinner cocktail.

William Escalante is the head bartender at Ouzo Bay and obviously enjoys his trade by adding a little flair to his service. This is not the first time we have seen Will behind the bar – he has also participated in a wonderful event for Cystic Fibrosis called Rye’s Up Against Cystic Fibrosis. This event has some of the finest bartenders in Baltimore, so you know you are pretty much guaranteed a great cocktail from William.

This cocktail was made by Cliff Harris in this video. Cliff has been in several of our videos, so if you would like to see some of the other Signature Cocktails with Cliff, you can do a search for him on the Let’s Drink On site, http://www.letsdrinkon.net.

This cocktail is simple to make and easy to drink. I think it is safe to say that even if you are not a Bourbon fan, you will like this cocktail but if you are a Bourbon drinker, you will definitely enjoy this cocktail. There is just enough mint and the Cherry Brandy is not over powering as it is tempered by the Ginger Beer. The Bourbon taste comes through so you Bourbon drinkers out there will not be turned off!
