Smoked Manhattan
Here’s a great riff on the Manhattan. If you’re new to smoked cocktails, this is an easy place to start. Cheers!

Godfather
This simple combination of single malt scotch and amaretto is a sipper and a good intro to scotch in general. As with any simple drink like this, use quality bottles if you can.

Chambord Bramble
This is an amazingly easy built in glass cocktail! Ponder the greatest raspberry lemonade of your life… now try this!! You will not be disappointed. Cheers!

The Runaway Margarita
Every cocktail bar has some type of Margarita (or a dozen depending on the joint). Here is our special blend of flavors that make our “house marg”.

Psycho Killer
This tasty little cocktail was a feature of one of Anders Erickson’s “spooky cocktails” video series. We hope you enjoy this unique cocktail!

Army and Navy
This was a big hit when it showed up on our Spring 2025 Menu. By adding the nutty syrup, Orgeat, to this gin cocktail, you end up with something slightly tiki. It is an absolute pleasure! Cheers!

Rough and Tumble
Here is a great example of strong flavors balancing nicely in the glass. Both amaro and chartreuse have the tendency to dominate a drink, but in this cocktail they find balance with each other. Cheers!

Sidecar
The sidecar is a staple at the Runaway Anchor. A simple build, but a still a complex experience. If you are trying to break away from making Old Fashioneds and Manhattans all the time, consider this cocktail as a great starting point.

Pomegranate Limeade
This is a great mocktail from Anders Erickson. Simple build and easy sipping. Sometimes booze free is what is needed. We’ve got you covered.

Midori Sour - elevated version of my first cocktail
One of the first cocktails I ever had over twenty years ago was the Midori Sour. It’s an often teased drink, but when you use real fruit, it becomes a decent little drink.

Hygee - Runaway Original Mocktail
I created this warm mocktail last winter. It takes the chai syrup of our Vanilla Chai Old Fashioned and mixes it with cream and cinnamon. This drink is a welcome addition to any mug. Cheers.

Grace O’Malley
On the hunt for an interesting cocktail based in Irish Whiskey, the name of this one jumped right off the digital page. We were intrigued by the combination of Irish whiskey with coffee liqueur and Orgeat!

Final Ward
Created by Phil Ward at Death and Company in NYC, this is one of our absolute favorite riffs on the Last Word.

Gingerlocks
This is a great cocktail that uses a local (to us) Irish whiskey, Red Locks!

Sentimental Gentleman
This is a nice little intro to scotch. The Benedictine makes it sweet and the walnut puts it into overdrive. Monkey Shoulder is a great choice for the scotch.

Final Say
If you enjoy a “Last Word” but can’t find Green Chartreuse, we highly recommend this cocktail as an alternative.

Coquito
This drink appeared during the holidays last year. Keep it in your pocket for the cooler months ahead, but it also tastes pretty good any time of year. Cheers!

Clapping Monkey HOC
This is a Runaway original inspired by the signature flavor of a local Minneapolis coffee shop, the Clapping Monkey House of Coffee. This one is for those with the sweetest of teeth!
Full recipe: www.runawayanchor.com/recipes/clap...
Chingon
This is a fun tequila cocktail that is all about balance. Juice the fruit! Cutting corners with bottled options will not result in the cocktail you deserve. Cheers!
Full Recipe: www.runawayanchor.com/recipes/chin...
Red Cherry Cocktail
This one was made live on YouTube and it was a winner! Another use for Cherry Heering liqueur!

Cadbury Cream Egg Cocktial
This is a wild one from last Easter. We found a recipe where you melt chocolate in the microwave vs stove, which made things easier. Not for every weekend, but it is a showstopper for a party.
Full Recipe: www.runawayanchor.com/recipes/cadb...
Bobby Burns
This is a great intro to scotch, especially if you’re already a Manhattan drinker. Another great use for that bottle of Benedictine too! Cheers!

Blueberry Rosemary Smash - MOCKTAIL
This is a tasty mocktail that still has lots of complexity. We modified the original recipe that we found at the “Mistress of Mocktails” to serve it up (no ice). This one is very popular!!
Full recipe: www.runawayanchor.com/recipes/blue...
Planter’s Punch No 2
Our second option for this classic tiki cocktail. Wonderful balance of flavors that will suit the sunniest of days.
Full recipe: www.runawayanchor.com/recipes/plan...
Blueberry Gin and Tonic
Here is a simple in-glass build that takes your G&T to the next level. And introduces home syrup making, which is also easy and saves you money!

The Tipperary
This is a fun riff on a Manhattan that features Green Chartreuse. A very balanced cocktail. Featured as part of our weekly Godfather’s Corner Patreon Speakeasy Series.
