At a restaurant, one used to simply order a dozen oysters. But these days, raw bars include menus of dozens of different oysters to choose from. Kumamotos are prized on the West Coast, Wellfleets are beloved in New England, New Yorkers love their Blue Points. There are however, just five species of oysters harvested in the U.S.; all other differences come from where they mature, and the waters they filter.
There are technically five types of oysters in the world. Here they all are:
Crassostrea Gigas–Pacific Oyster
Crassostrea Sikamea–Kumamoto Oyster
Crassostrea Virginicas–Atlantic Oyster
Ostrea Edulis–European Flat
Ostrea Lurida–Olympia Oysters
This is a reproduction of a hand drawn and watercolored rendition of these species by Marcella Kriebel. Purchase with our without a frame.
The Aviation cocktail was created in 1916 by Hugo Ensslin, the head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York City, and first published in his cocktail book Recipes for Mixed Drinks. The drink is a variation on the Gin Sour that's shaken and served straight up. It's known for its distinctive color and floral flavor, which come from the addition of crème de violette, a violet liqueur.
The mint julep has been around for centuries, but today we associate it most closely with The Kentucky Derby. The event at Churchill Downs serves almost 120,000 juleps every year.
