The Dive. Mammoth Cave Kentucky. Dive Bar. Moscow Mule

cock·tail

/ˈkäkˌtāl/ noun

1.

an alcoholic drink consisting of a spirit or several spirits mixed with other ingredients, such as fruit juice, lemonade, or cream.

—  Double Smoked Maple Bacon Old Fashion  —
Inspired by our love of campfires, whiskey and bacon, this twist on an old favorite starts with Kentucky made MB Roland Dark fired Bourbon, fire, a log of white oak and maple syrup infused with bacon. The creation is a show in itself.
$8

—  “Floyd” Tom Collins  —
When local Floyd Collins was trapped in Sand Cave it was during prohibition (1929). To stay warm his brother Homer would bring him moonshine that eventually lead to him being banned from the rescue site. As family members we’re keeping the moonshine serving tradition alive with this concoction of Casey Jones Moonshine, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup and a splash of soda.
$8

—  Alpine Slide  —
Like the roadside attraction itself, this mix of Coconut Rum, Blue Caracou, Sour, Pineapple and Sprite will have you coasting down a slippery slope full speed ahead. It’s fun, wild and a little dangerous. Hope you have good insurance. 
$8

—  Drunk Man’s Misery Shot  —
Our take on the “Fat Man’s Misery” at Mammoth Cave, we have a mix that’s going to give you all the liquid courage you need to go digging around underground. Bulliet Rye, Lemon, sugar, egg whites garnished with a roasted cricket. 
$6

—  Bad Decision  —
Sweet tea is the house wine of the south and every good southern woman knows that bad decisions make for the best stories. We keep it simple with sweet tea and vodka with a lemon.
$7

—  Death in the Afternoon  —
Invented by champion drinker Ernest Hemingway. Listed as the #1 in the world as highest content of alcohol in a cocktail. A risky pairing of absinthe and Champagne. Hemmingway would drink 5 cocktails in a sitting but we’re playing it safe and limiting you to two.
$10

—  The Ridge Runners  —
Our version of the three wise men, except no one is wise. These Kentuckians, (Makers) Mark, Jim (Beam), and some guy named Elijah Craig, have been hanging out on the ridge since they were born. Just ask a local and they’ll tell ya so.
$8

—  Cave Shitty  —
An accidental pairing of Fireball, OJ, Pineapple and grenadine, this cocktail lives up to its name. It’s just enough fruit and spice thrown together in a mason jar and is nothing fancy, just like us here in CC. 
$6

—  The Dive Vegas Bomb  —
Cave City may be a long way from Vegas but that don’t mean that we can’t out drink ‘em. Our version has Whiskey, Coconut Rum, Peach, Cranberry and Red Bull. 
$7

The Dive Side

Flight of 3 local small batch distilleries. You choose which ones. $15

—  MB Roland Dark Fired Bourbon (Pembroke, Ky)  —
Dark fired and smoked corn and aged in used bourbon barrels. The result is something a little lighter than bourbon, but with all the campfire and bbq notes. Batches range from 110-120 proof.   

—  Casey Jones Barrel Cut Moonshine (Hopkinsville, KY) —
Mellowed in a charred premium oak barrel to create a spirit with a rich, complex flavor. Produced in extremely limited quantities. 104.5 proof  

—  Fortuitous Union Rum (Radcliff, KY)  —
Kentucky bourbon barrel finished 12-year-old Trinidad rum together with cask strength rye whiskey. 103 proof.  

—  Copper & Kings American Brandy (Louisville, KY) —
A blend of copper pot-distilled brandy blended and aged in bourbon barrels and some new American oak to create a distinctive, unique American Brandy. 90 proof

—  Linkumpinch Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Franklin, KY)  —
The small batch is named for the Linkumpinch Farm where legendary duels took place. Uniquely handcrafted batches use exclusive ingredients of the region including a high wheat mashbill that is 66% corn, 22% red winter wheat and 11% malted barely giving the whiskey a smooth sweet taste right off the still. The fermented mash is double-pot distilled then entered into the barrel at 120 proof and aged for a minimum of two years in charred white oak barrels. 100 proof

—  Kentucky Mountain Moonshine (Irvine, KY) —
An 80 proof clear Instead of rye or wheat, the Arvin family uses only corn to create what is a sweeter more pleasing taste, instead of the heat often associated with rye moonshine. Rye and wheat give the drinker a throat and mouth burn, but Kentucky Mountain Moonshine is mild and smooth. Charred oak is used to create the complex “smokey” flavor.
