🥮🍐AUTUMNAL QUINCE CRUSTA🍂🥃
A nod and a wink to the old-school standard.
Cognac, rum, fortified w**e, quince, brown butter, verjus, allspice, citrus and a touch of almond, finished with an orange-spiced salted biscotti sugar crust.
The Brandy Crusta laid the groundwork for multiple generations of cocktails to come. First documented nearly 200 years ago in New Orleans, the Crusta is said to be directly responsible for the birth of many sours (daiquiris) and daisies (margaritas) to come, it was also the first cocktail to practice adding a salted/sugared rim, for both flavor and presentation purposes.
Often unsung in many other cocktail spots, we felt like a drink with this sort of legacy deserved another turn in the spotlight, so we gave it our seasonal treatment for this week’s special.
Delightful to all flavor palates. Rich and nutty, but still bright. Our final “changing-of-the-seasons” libation before the next round of spooky surprises ;)
Also, I want to throw Christian Santana a little extra love for making us look so dang good lately 📸 …show-off.
