Cocktails

RUBY | 18
You know her, you love her, you can’t live without her. Beginning her graduate studies at U. of P. is no easy task for this optimistic combination of citrus vodka, capable fresh lemon and fearless Chambord, shaken with determination and served confidently with a powdered sugar rim.We’re proud of our girl!

EGP est. 3.17.2000
Welcome back to you, the greatest guests in the Northwest! This unique version of a Manhattan features Old Forester and Ramazzotti Amaro, chilled and served up with a Bada Bing Cherry. Here’s to a new year!

AUNT LINDA | 19
Aunt Linda loved this refreshing combination of basil-infused El Jimador Blanco, fresh lime and coconut cream, shaken and served over ice with a diablo-salted rim, more than she loved Uncle Fred and his smelly cigars. One time at a family dinner she dumped a whole bowl of spaghetti on his head because he wouldn’t put his cigar out. Ah, true love.

COUNTY COOLER | 18
Jerrikah’s advice is to stay calm and cocktail on. This cool cocktail features equal parts Strega and Lillet Blanc, dashes of fresh lemon, orange bitters, orange flower water and a splash of Cointreau, served tall, topped with Cava and soda. So, kick back and relax, be cool and don’t be a fool. Good advice!

BIG TOP | 18
This three-ring circus features Pinot Noir barreled Ransom Old Tom Gin, Aperol and Dolin sweet vermouth performing over ice with a dash of Fee Bros. grapefruit bitters, topped with Fever Tree tonic and finished with an orange peel. Step right up and be the ringmaster of your own circus.

C.O.W. | 17
(Cocktail of theWeek) Fairly unique, occasionally tropical, mostly fun and always inventive. Go ahead… have a COW!

BESO DEL DIABLO | 18
This spicy classic stands the test of time. El Jimador blanco, fresh grapefruit, a splash of pineapple juice and Ryan’s updated version of Matthew’s habanero “juice” is shaken and served up with a sugared rim. An angel may be sitting across from you or it may be the devil’s kiss, either way you can’t lose. Go for it!

STRAWBERRY PINEAPPLE DAIQUIRI | 19
Tough day at work? Bad hair day? Coffee shop ran out of oat milk? No worries, Justin’s easy breezy combination of strawberry-infusedWray & Nephew rum, Plantation Pineapple rum, fresh lime and demerara syrup is shaken and servied up. Allow us to fix your day.

PB&J | 19
You won’t be pulling this PB&J from a brown paper bag. Our PB&J is next level thanks to Chef Brando. George Dickel 8 year bourbon, splashes of Carpano Antica and Lillet, dashes of Chambord and Fee Bros. Aztec chocolate bitters, served chilled and up. There’s nothing like a classic PB&J to take you back.

TAHITIAN HONEY BEE | 18
As an underage, wannabe adult, it was always our goal to sneak into any downtown bar,.Our first and favorite target was Trader Vic’s. The dark, fun tiki vibe was just the ticket. EGP now occupies that hallowed ground.We proudly accept the responsibility to keep Trader Vic’s ghost alive. This combination of Mt. Gay rum, fresh lemon, honey and Fee Bros. bitters (liberties) is shaken and served up. Vic’s ghost has treated us well over the years. Thank you Vic! BELLINI | 17 A romantic night at El Gaucho would not be complete without this Venetian classic. Originally created for Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini in 1943. This classic blend of white peach puree and Prosecco will.

Cigar Spotlight

OLIVA SERIE V MELANIO | 37
Origin: Nicaragua Size: 6 1/2 x 52
Strength: Medium Full  |  Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Binder: Nicaraguan Habano  |  Filler: Nicaraguan Habano

From harvesting, maturing, fermenting, blending and, ultimately, rolling… there is an unmistakable artistry to cigar craftsmanship. As such, cigars are tangible, taste-able, smoke-able art. The Oliva Serie V Melanio, then, is an artistic triumph. An oily, leathery, mahogany hued Ecuadorian wrapper entices the eye, while imparting rich leather, baking spice, molasses, and pepper to the palate. Bold woodiness, coffee, caramel, and citrus notes from the Nicaraguan binder and fillers provide optimal balance to this deliciously complex stick. Introduced in 2012 as a tribute to owner Gilberto Oliva’s grandfather, Melanio, a 19th century Cuban tobacco farmer, the Serie V was soon honored as 2014’s Cigar of the Year. Consider smoking and savoring this masterpiece as an act of Art Appreciation.

Perfect Pairing

JOS. A. MAGNUS CIGAR BLEND | 55
From one ancestral salute to another – Joseph Magnus Bourbon was revitalized in 2015 after its namesake’s great-grandson discovered an unopened
bottle of the Prohibition-shuttered distillery’s bourbon in his mother’s basement.What began as Jimmy Turner honoring his great-grandfather and the label he established in 1892 evolved into taking Magnus far beyond. Behold, the Cigar Blend – a bold sipper meticulously crafted by Master Blender Nancy Fraley. The bouquet of rich pipe tobacco, cherry cola and toasted vanilla tempts the nose, while the palate bursts with the perfect balance of maple-candy, oak, leather and clove. The thoughtful blend of 18-year Kentucky and Indiana bourbons employs their signature Sherry and Cognac barrel aging, with additional Armagnac cask treatment, providing unavoidable depth to this Cigar Room must-drink. Enjoyed neat or on a block (and pairing with the Melanio) will prove a truly artistic endeavor.
