Quarantini Menu • March 2021
How the time flies……
Each drink is based on an event in 2020, too many to count, but here are our selected 5 events. Laid out chronologically on a menu-timeline of sorts.
Brush Fire $15
Four Roses Bourbon, lemon juice, egg white. Shaken and served up with a eucalyptus garnish.
Why this cocktail: in remembrance of the extreme fires in Australia. A play on a whiskey sour using a sage syrup.
Quarantini $8
Chambord, heavy cream, vanilla vodka, simple syrup, EmergenC powder garnish.
Why this cocktail: at the beginning of the quarantine alcohol sales skyrocketed. Sales of cocktail bitters went up 82% in the USA alone. Most of the foodservice industry was sent home and started experimenting with EmergenC and boom - the quarantini was created.
Killer Bee’s (Knees) $7
Gin, habanero honey syrup, lemon juice. Shaken and served up. Ask for it double hot and we will use our secret stash of extra hot habanero syrup
Why this cocktail: remember when the killer bees started to show up in the USA? No? Also a Bee’s Knees is an amazing classic cocktail.
Dalgona Coffee Cocktail $10
Coffee foam (sugar, coffee, Disaronno, gums, water) floated on top of spiced rum, milk, caramel sauce. Enjoy layered or mix it together for a boozy coffee.
Why this cocktail: as the quarantine extended more and more people started downloading TikTok and also making food at home. The Dalgona Coffee recipe first showed up in Japan, quickly spreading around the world. Think of this drink is almost a White Russian, but more well traveled. And, living in a digital world.
Fauci-Ouchi $10
Scotch, lemon juice, honey, 1 rinse of Laphroaig and 2 rinses of Averna.
Why this cocktail: its a take on The Penicillin cocktail, the name penicillin and the pairing with Dr Fauci had to be done. To make it special and Dr. Fauci themed we used a double dose of ‘mist shots’ instead of a float at the end. Here we used 2 different spirits, like the double vaccines. First with scotch as the cocktail calls for, but 2 sprays then with Averna, in reference to his painter father from Italy.
We hope you can look back on 2020 and remember the good things that happened. For us at 5BAR 2020 was an incredible year of growth. The 3.5 year long dream of creating a welcoming space was finally able to come to life, in the midst of so much chaos.
