The Drift

The Drift A taproom in Winterset, Iowa, with craft beer, wine, and cocktails and food.
**Reservations not acc

Situated in the heart of Madison County, The Drift is named for the once-glacial region that gave us our rolling hills: the Southern Iowa Drift Plain. This is a reminder to slow down and connect with the simple beauty of the land that surrounds us—and the simple beauty of this moment.

All three of our features this week are debut items that have never been on our menu before!

The Drift's dinner special is an Italian Sausage, Ricotta & Hot Honey Flatbread built on our soft oval crust.

Our feature drink is the Old Cuban Cocktail, made with dark rum, simple syrup, lime, bitters, fresh mint and champagne.

For dessert we will feature Dubai Style Chocolate Mousse Cake - a rich chocolate cake with smooth chocolate mousse, kataifi (shredded phyllo dough) filling, chocolate drizzle and white chocolate curls.

We hope you can make it before these specials are gone!
