Much will be made of the drink menu built by beverage director Belinda Chang, a James Beard award-winning pro. Comprised of carefully selected draft beers, boutique wines, andseasonal, handcrafted cocktails, it’s a great list. But her "Build-Your-Own Cocktail Kit" will get the most press. Because it's unique, at least for the next 10 minutes.
The kit is a bin packed of syrups, sodas, herbs, bitters, fruit slices and tincturesplus all the tools you'll need to shake, swizzle and stir things up. It arrives with a 2-ounce pour of whatever base spirit you picked (such as gin, tequila, vodka, bourbon, whatever). And then you get to make your own cocktail, or perhaps impose your creation upon an obliged date who might say, "Yep, this is good," smiling through the knowledge that there will be no second date. Unless you happen to actually be a skilled cocktail creator and/or conversationalist.
So, my advice is to order what's actually the best drink on the menu, with the added bonus that you don't have to make it yourself.
Behold, the hibiscus flip:
It's "just right" in terms of sweetness, balance, complexity, individuality, fun, and just about every measure by which to judge a cocktail.
Drink one and it won't matter if you or your date are good conversationalists or not, it will be a good night.
Bottom Line: Order a hibiscus flip and sit back in a cozy leather chair to enjoy it.
