Classic Cocktail Recipe Development

Job ID: 39859492

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I’m refreshing my restaurant’s drink list and need a set of original, classic-style cocktails that feel timeless yet unique to our brand. I’m not looking for classes or onsite bartending—just expertly crafted, custom recipes ready to drop straight onto the menu.

What I need from you
• A curated collection of classic-inspired cocktails (spirit-forward, sours, highballs, etc.) tailored to our food program and guest profile.
• Full specifications for each drink: exact measurements in both ounces and millilitres, recommended glassware, garnish, and step-by-step build or shake instructions.
• Brief tasting notes and a one-line menu description for each cocktail.
• Ingredient cost breakdowns so I can price the drinks accurately.
• Suggested prep or batch tips for a busy service bar.

I’ll share our current menu, house spirits, and any brand partnerships once we start so you can weave them into the recipes where it makes sense.

If you’ve developed cocktail menus for bars or restaurants before, include a quick sample (no proprietary details needed) or links to reviews/photos that showcase your work. Proven experience with classic cocktails—think Old Fashioned riffs, balanced sours, and elegant stirred drinks—is essential.

Looking forward to seeing how you can give our guests a memorable, classically rooted cocktail experience.
