If you’re looking for a cocktail that balances tropical flavors with a rich espresso kick, look no further than the Standing Room. This drink is a refreshing escape, featuring rum and pineapple juice uplifted by hints of hazelnut and espresso, making it a standout choice for any occasion.
The cocktail combines light rum and sweet pineapple juice with a splash of lime, enriched by the chocolate notes of Crème de Cocoa, chilled espresso, and the nutty warmth of hazelnut syrup.
The visual appearance begins with the swizzling, which creates and blends the flavors together. The vibrant yellow of the pineapple juice mingles beautifully with the cream-colored house made hazelnut syrup. Topping it off, a rich float of espresso contrasts strikingly against the lighter hues, adding depth to the drink. Finally, the dehydrated orange garnish adds an elegant touch and a pop of color.
Spring is a season of transition, awakening a world of new colors and flavors. It’s also a great time for craft cocktails.
That’s where our new March 2024 bartender special at Water Grill comes in. It’s called Spring Forward and it’s available this month only. This craft cocktail is a revitalization of the classic Old Fashioned. As a more contemporary twist, Spring Forward features a brighter and more vibrant flavor with herbaceous spring accents. The bold notes of bourbon, delicate lemongrass character and a hint of peach bitters create a harmonious blend of flavors that dance lightly across your palate. An absinthe rinse to the chilled Spiegelau glass adds subtle botanical complexity, while a garnish of fresh tarragon leaves evokes the sentiment of lush greenery of the season to come.
