Inspired by Midcentury

Exposed wood, nature inspired prints, low slung furniture lines and a neutral color palette are some of the many elements that make midcentury design so pleasing to the eye. In the spirit of the era from which it came, we poured ourselves a martini and went to work gathering together goods to invoke this iconic style into your own mix.

We asked Jeffrey Morgenthaler, bar manager at Clyde Common and author of the Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique, to share one of his favorite recipes for the perfect fall libation. “It’s like fall in a glass, bright apple and cinnamon flavors, with some fresh earth and thanksgiving spices,” says Morgenthaler.
