CHICAGO — Ready-to-drink cocktails have proliferated in recent years, but Tip Top Proper Cocktails stand out.
Most striking about Tip Top, which arrived in Chicago earlier this year, is its charming package: a wee 3.4 ounces, just about right for cocktails as boozy and full-flavored as these.
The presentation is also attractively retro, inspired by a 1920s-era French cocktail book and harks back to a simpler, less frilly era. It’s not hard to imagine Ernest Hemingway downing a couple of these at the bar.
