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.
This February we celebrate Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon. Our bartender’s special for the month, Walking Dragon, is a play on the classic craft cocktail, the Last Word.
At first sip, the Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese whisky envelops the palate with notes of oak and a delicate sweetness. While the Green Chartreuse adds an herbal complexity, the grapefruit and lime introduce a burst of tangy citrus, lending a vibrant and refreshing element to the drink. For a “grand finale" of sorts, and to elevate this cocktail further, a drizzle of wasabi oil is carefully rested on the surface. This captivating blend of flavors creates a memorable drinking experience, enticing those seeking a unique and adventurous libation.
