Summer Cocktails have arrived at our Phinney taproom! These specialty warm weather beverages are perfect sippers for sunny patio days. If you are familiar with our wine program, we really take care in selecting purveyors that we truly love. These cocktails make no exception.
Cueva Nueva Vermut (Tarragona, Spain), is a traditional vermouth aged in 100% French oak barrels, using the Solera system for added complexity. The goal of this project was to produce something ultra old-school but with a fresh feel and taste, with high-quality ingredients. We will be offering this vermouth classically, on the rocks or neat with an orange slice.
Our featured cocktails include, The Alchemist: Vermut, orange bitters, topped with Holy Mountain pilsner from the Lukr tower, and Disciple’s Planet: Vermut, Kila Cava Brut (Catalonia, Spain), garnished with castelveltrano olive and orange wheel.
Additionally, we will be pouring Handshake, a Persian Digestif we’ve loved for quite some time. Made by an Iranian-born manager and owner of a bier cafe in Portland, Maine, the digestif blends the spices of Tehran with the alpine flavors from the beautiful state of Maine. It is a dry, versatile amaro with a base of organic neutral wheat spirit, and nearly 30 botanicals including saffron, tea, lemongrass, sumac, hops, spruce tips, and maple syrup. Enjoy this post-meal pour neat or on the rocks in our Phinney taproom.
These drinks pair perfectly with the vibes of the taproom, offering thoughtful connection to tradition, quality, and unique flavor experiences. Salud!
