Savory Cocktails Lead the Craft Cocktail Trend at Melrose


From our friends at Jardenea Restaurant...

The Bar Chefs at Jardenea, the farm-to-fork restaurant at Melrose Georgetown Hotel have stepped away from the simple syrups, sweetened liqueur and the sugar rim and is introducing a world of flavors usually saved for the dinner plate. The Bar Chefs are pushing the boundaries by adding spicy, smoky and salty twists on the classics to craft the perfect savory treat. Priced at $14, the eclectic flavor infusions range from maple bacon, red bell pepper Chile syrup, and squid ink to balsamic vinegar, fig puree, and blood orange bitters.
