Jordan Fisher’s ‘The Standing Ovation’ Debuts at La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT

Reviewers describe a spirit-forward Manhattan riff with restrained mezcal smoke.

Overview

  • The drink combines Ilegal añejo mezcal, Rittenhouse rye, vermouth, and mole bitters, priced at $20.
  • Served from a small wooden cask stamped with a “jf” logo, it arrives in a Manhattan glass etched with Fisher’s initials.
  • Early tastings report a strong, whiskey-dominant profile with peppery and caramel notes, light smokiness, and noticeable heat.
  • La Cava’s team developed the recipe with Fisher in New York as a Manhattan-inspired collaboration now listed on the bar’s menu.
  • The release continues La Cava’s celebrity-crafted lineup that includes Neil Patrick Harris’s Black Magic Margarita and Lily Aldridge’s The Lily.
