At The Valiant, we believe that a cocktail isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience.

A cocktail that brings the cozy embrace of a fireside right to your glass.
Have a sneak peak...
We start with 45ml of Maker’s 46 Bourbon, a rich, robust spirit that forms the heart of this concoction. This bourbon is complemented by 25ml of apple liqueur, which infuses the drink with a refreshing apple twist.
To add depth and a hint of herbal complexity, we mix in 5ml of Averna Amaro, a classic Italian bitter that balances the sweetness of the apple.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Our cocktail is finished with 15ml of Monin Cinnamon Syrup and 30ml of lime juice.
The cinnamon syrup adds a warm, comforting spice, while the lime juice provides a bright, zesty contrast. It’s a perfect balance of flavors designed to warm you from the inside out.
The true star of “By the Fireplace,” however, is its theatrical element. We take this cocktail experience to the next level by introducing a bit of fire magic.
Each glass is accompanied by a cinnamon-smoked bottle. As the cocktail is poured, we use a smoking gun to fill the bottle with a fragrant cinnamon smoke, adding a unique depth to the flavor profile. It’s a show-stopping performance that not only enhances the drink’s aroma but also creates an unforgettable experience.
To garnish, we top “By the Fireplace” with a dehydrated apple slice and a piece of cinnamon stick. These final touches not only elevate the presentation but also provide a subtle hint of the delicious flavors awaiting you.
