Molecular cocktails = (TAs)Ty (Bu)t EXpEnS1ve
Remember when you were new to drinking and you wanted to get your buzz on...
Taking all the booze in your cabinet, you threw everything together in a shaker, added ice... voila! It's a drink.
Now charge $45 for your concoction and serve it at a bar on Queen street.
Okay, I actually did like the drinks here!
Some of the drinks were odd but pleasant, however, the sweet and sour confusing my taste buds probably isn't my thing.
We came here for drinks on a Thursday night around 11pm. There was lots of space to sit and stand. The decor is modern and offbeat. I really liked the black and white plush chairs.... oddly matched with the into-the-wild tree wallpaper. It's perfect if you wanted to have a fancy cocktail night... in the middle of the woods.
Floral Fizz. ($20 Molecular)
* Frozen carbon dioxide (Buh? ...Gee, I couldn't taste it)
* Riesling
* Yellow chartreuse
* Cardamom syrup
* Apricot bitters
* Lavender sugar rim
* Topped with coconut foam
The drink was okay but didn't look "molecular".
It was super sour. I was hoping for more sweetness and floral accents from the Lavender sugar...The flavour was a bit harsh.
The best part was the foam... the things that I would eat that off of... Anyways, yeah.
Peat ($13 Sipping)
* Islay Scotch
*Cinnamon infused vermouth
* absinthe rinse
* lemon twist
This drink was one of the better ones of the evening. It was refreshing and well, you can't really go wrong with absinthe and Macallan single malt (which happens to be my scotch of choice).
The drinks here are damn expensive... but if you are looking for something different, you'll find it here.
