FLIP's Manhattan

The Manhattan: Redolent of sweet, smoky caramel… a hint of burnt caramel and smokiness from the Rye. Rich, perfumy and smooth, this Manhattan is close to perfection… definitely one of the best Manhattans I’ve ever had the good fortune to taste.

Everyone has been raving about the burgers, but, why hasn’t anyone been raving […]

Manhattan Special

Manhattan Special is a carbonated esspresso coffee soda that actually tastes like espresso. It tastes far superior to any bottled or canned espresso-type product I’ve ever tasted. It has none of the watered down quality of other bottled coffee products I’ve tried. I’m really surprised that this isn’t more widely distributed. The taste is […]

Chinotto

Chinotto uses the flavor of a small bitter citrus fruit of the same name for this interesting sparkling soda. It also makes a great addition to cockails. The bittersweet flavor adds interest and complexity to our favorite mixed drinks. Chinotto oranges are also used as a flavoring in Campari. But, the flavor of chinotto […]

Cocaine

Cocaine — Spicy Hot

On a recent road trip to New York City we found… Cocaine! A very potent energy supplement drink that we found quite effective. And, much tastier than Red Bull. The sweet/spicy flavor has the taste of sugar syrup spiked with vitamins and a dash of pepper.

A few of the […]
