Cocktail Program
What kind of cocktails could possibly pair with music that predates modern distillation?
We are taking inspiration from the 1694 manuscripts of Antonio Latini - steward to multiple cardinals, and author of the very first tomato sauce on record - to create a uniquely intriguing menu, pairing 17th century flavor profiles (including a quest for an appropriate ambergris substitution!) with modern sensibilities.
Cocktails designed as a collaboration between best-selling author of culinary historical fiction Crystal King; mixologist John Carlson; and distiller Taras Hrabowsky
Cocktail of Strawberries | A daiquiri variation with some peppercorn-like heat from the Grains of Paradise, which is from the ginger family
Cocktail of Sour Cherries | Our most creative invention; we used myrrh and muskroot to capture the warmth and funk of exotic ambergris
Cocktail of Roses | Light and sparkling for a summer night
Rose apertivo
Rose vinegar shrub
Sparkling wine
Cocktail of Spiced Raisins | Like an Old Fashioned, with a twist
Raisin-infused rye
Amaro
Wermut
Spices
The La-Tini (Cocktail of Myrtles) | The combination of 2 types of myrtle make this martini surprisingly smooth
