The editorial take
The cocktail list at Art & Jake's is built on branded spirits and full ingredient compositions rather than vague house pours. The range moves through vodka, tequila, bourbon, rum, cognac, and prosecco bases, with named drinks like the Absolute Crusher, Basil & Blue, and Jake's Old Fashioned. The Old Fashioned uses Basil Hayden with sage and vanilla infused maple syrup and house aromatic bitters, while the Double Espresso Martini combines Ketel One with Mr Black and espresso. It is a broad, brand-forward list that covers several spirit bases without leaning on a single house pour.
- What should I order?
- Jake's Old Fashioned, made with Basil Hayden Bourbon, sage and vanilla infused maple syrup, house aromatic bitters, orange, and cherry. For a different base, the Basil & Blue uses Don Julio Blanco Tequila with blueberry puree, basil, lime, and orange liqueur, and the Double Espresso Martini combines Ketel One, Mr Black, espresso, and espresso beans.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a named cocktail list with recognizable branded spirits and clearly stated ingredients, and who move between vodka, tequila, bourbon, rum, cognac, and prosecco bases rather than staying with one spirit.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The list names specific branded spirits and gives full ingredient compositions for each drink, spans six base categories, and includes house-made elements such as sage and vanilla infused maple syrup and house aromatic bitters in the Old Fashioned.
