Looking for something special to do this Saturday?

Join us at Somerset Schoolhouse on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 4–6 PM for Mixology 103: Martinis & Manhattans, led by Scott Shappell.

Only a few spots remain for this engaging cocktail class, where you’ll explore the art and science behind two timeless classics. You’ll learn about different types of vermouth, how to customize martinis, and how proper stirring and shaking influence a cocktail’s dilution, texture, and balance.

Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking to expand your knowledge, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn, refine your technique, and enjoy the finer things in life.

Don’t miss out—reserve your spot today at SomersetSchoolhouse.com

The Lesli Martini 🍸

Some cocktails become favorites. Others become part of the story.

Meet The Lesli Martini, our house martini named after our owner, Lesli Baker. After plenty of tasting, experimenting, and a little trial and error, this elegant and spirit-forward martini found its place at the Somerset Schoolhouse.

The Pour:
Belvedere Vodka • Citadelle Gin • Cocchi Americano • Dolin Blanc • Orange Bitters • Orange Twist

Stirred to perfection, The Lesli Martini is crisp, complex, and beautifully balanced, with the gin adding depth while the orange notes provide a bright, refined finish.

The Lesli Martini.
Strong, sophisticated, and always stirred—not shaken.🍸

Meet the Penicillin

A modern classic with a little history—and a lot of character.

Our Penicillin brings together Scotch, house-made honey syrup, house-made ginger syrup, and fresh lemon juice for a beautifully balanced combination of smoky, sweet, spicy, and citrusy flavors. Served over a large ice cube and finished with a piece of candied ginger, every sip offers something a little different.

Created by bartender Sam Ross in 2005 at Milk & Honey in New York City, the Penicillin was inspired by the Gold Rush cocktail and has since become a modern classic. Fun fact: its name is a playful reference to the drink’s soothing combination of honey, ginger, and lemon—giving it a reputation as something of a cocktail “cure-all.”

If you enjoy Scotch—or even if you’re still discovering it—the Penicillin is a wonderful place to start. The bright lemon and rich honey soften the Scotch, while ginger adds a warm, lively spice and a subtle smoky finish.

Come experience the Penicillin at Somerset Schoolhouse. Your next favorite cocktail might just be a modern classic. 🥃

THE ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️

One of our newest cocktails at Somerset Schoolhouse: The Zombie — a legendary tiki classic with a house-made twist.

Crafted with Havana rum, Falernum, house-made cinnamon syrup, house-made grenadine, pineapple, grapefruit, and fresh lime, then finished with a Diplomático rum floater. Garnished with a fresh mint bouquet and frozen pineapple, and served in a fun, one-of-a-kind tiki glass. Also available as a mocktail!

🍍 What does it taste like?
Tropical, citrus-forward, and wonderfully complex. Bright pineapple and grapefruit mingle with fresh lime, while cinnamon and grenadine add warmth and a touch of sweetness. The layers of rum bring depth and a rich finish, balanced by the refreshing aroma of fresh mint.

🧟‍♂️ Fun fact: The original Zombie was created in the 1930s by tiki pioneer Donn Beach at his famous Don the Beachcomber restaurant. It became so popular—and so potent—that some bars famously limited guests to just two!

Come experience our take on this iconic tiki cocktail at Somerset Schoolhouse. 🌺

And if you love the glass as much as the drink, you’re in luck! Our unique tiki glasses are available for purchase upstairs in our boutique.
