Vermouth (White vermouth served with various housemade bitters and tinctures, $18): A glass of Fossil Branco served straight up on an antique silver tray lets you play bartender with dry herbs (clove, cinnamon, wormwood, gentian and orange peel) and “bitters and tinctures to think and tinker” in tiny cork-capped medicine vials. Add as much or as little of the housemade extracts (tangy citrus quinine liqueur, galangal vodka, matsutake artichoke and sweet orange chamomile bitters), and then add more vermouth with that adorable sidecar in a miniature crystal pitcher.
