DEL.ICIO.USCulinary Cocktails Anyone?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The latest trend in dining happens behind the bar, not in the kitchen. “Culinary cocktails” (who thought of that name? the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?) have taken hold of the dining scene in Atlanta. The idea of applying fresh ingredients with the same cooking principles and techniques behind the bar as one would find in the kitchen sounds like a no-brainer, but few bars actually do it.
Blazing the trail are restaurants such as Beleza, where fresh, full-on flavor libations like the pomegranate spritzer — gin, pom syrup, prosecco and pom seeds — turn the French 75 on its anti-antioxidant ear.
Other restaurants where you can coif this type of culinary-inspired cocktail: Restaurant Eugene, Shaun’s, Repast, the Globe, Floataway Cafe. Are culinary cocktails THE biggest new trend in dining out? I think so. What do you think? And where do you go to enjoy one of these spirited libations?
