At Kinfolk we invite you to explore some of our favorite cocktail families and their lineage with selections from our cocktail family tree menu. We encourage you to pursue reunions with our takes on old favorites, as well as introduce yourself to new members of the families waiting to be met and enjoyed. Or, if time and responsible consumption allow, explore both!
