THE NEW COCKTAILS 2023

 

 Joeys Base

GRACE: Hi, can you introduce yourself and tell us about your new cocktail creation?

JOEY: Hey, I’m Joey and since December 2023, I’ve been at the Grace Bar. The cocktail I’ve designed is called Joey’s Base and it’s a distant twist on the well-known tiki cocktail, Mai Tai.

GRACE: What inspired you?

JOEY: Actually Scotty, he is our bar manager. We were thinking about what type of cocktail was missing from the new menu, so we decided on a tiki. The name is a small homage to health and pleasure – Dates have an alkalizing effect on the body.

GRACE: How does the cocktail taste?

JOEY:  It starts with rum, balanced with a bouquet of violets, complex sweetness from almond and date with the freshness of green melon.

GRACE: What other Cocktail do you fancy?

JOEY: That’s a difficult question, as our cocktails are so different. I would order something different depending on my mood. What always works for me is a Caxaca Old Fashioned – mezcal and tequila in one drink. Have an awesome night!
