    Man Camp Cocktail Menu

    cocktails

    Table of Contents

    AI-assisted: I picked these recipes from two of my Mixel cocktail lists and filtered them against the bottles and pantry I’m bringing to camp. Claude helped match recipes to ingredients and format the menu.

    Every drink here can be made from the same bar: bourbon, rye, gin, tequila, mezcal, Champagne, sweet and dry vermouth, Chartreuse, St-Germain, Campari, Aperol, and a few basics. Where a recipe calls for something we don’t have, a swap is noted.
