| - I came here last night to have drinks with my friends. The menu didn't seem extensive, but it was so hard to pick a drink as they all seemed so good!
If you're looking for something fruity, I'd suggest the basil daiquiri (and only if you like pineapple flavors). The alcohol wasn't too strong in that drink. I think if I were to go again, I'd get this one.
The other fruity drink was the rocket. It tasted like raspberries and looked like the rocket popsicle (which is what its name is aimed at). There were also pomegranates at the bottom of the drink, which you could eat after.
Under the Modernist section, my friend got the Sailor's Mojito. The presentation is definitely very unique. There's the drink, then the beach essence with smoke coming out (probably from dry ice) and then the mojito ravioli. So basically, you have three things on the plate. You start by slurping down the mojito ravioli (shuck it like an oyster), then smell the smoke and then drink your drink. My friend really enjoyed it. We all enjoyed being able to share the smell from her drink. Hahaha.
I ended up opting for the pyrat. It came on a small plate as well, with a glass filled with rum and with the bitter almond ice and orgeat ice and regular ice. The bitter almond and orgeat I believe were frozen like dry ice, so when those were put into the drink, it caused it to smoke a bit. Then the waiter had used a lighter to burn the orange peel a bit, then put it in the drink. This drink will definitely test your patience! The rum is really strong until you let the ice melt completely. We used the candles on the tables and swirled the drinks occasionally to help with the melting process. My friend, being an impatient person, kept swirling her drink and ended up taking sips of it before it all melted. I started to drink it when the ice was more than half melted. I found it quite bitter and strong, but once the ice completely melted, it wasn't too bad.
Overall, I think I would come by to try the other fruity drinks. It's definitely worth it to go and just try it. Even though the drinks are pricey!
