Charlemagne Cocktail Bar, tucked above the new French brasserie Cafe Renee, continues with the establishment's European flair — this time, taking you on...
Not grandiose or gimmicky, the entrance to this King West spot's secret bar is the kind of riveting secret you'd hope for from a classic speakeasy.
Leave behind the astir crowds and platters of stacked food for this sexy, sultry space, mellowed with dimmed lighting and swanky jazz. We're first presented with the Verona , from Angus' selection of what he's most proud to show off, and we shamefully try not to fawn over the impressive rectangular ice cube that takes up the whole glass, before we've even had a sip.Instead, divine sweetness. A smooth, cotton candy-like note catches the tongue while you curiously stare down an olive with each gulp.
Worry not — it's ground white peppercorn, to pair with bell pepper-infused white rum, mezcal, Blanco vermouth, and lime leaf. Another boozy sip is the Gilded Rose , with rose-infused Fino Sherry, agave, Strega, gentian made in-house, verjus, salt and champagne.It's no unexpected surprise — verjus is a juice made of unripe grapes and crab apples, among other notoriously sour fruits.
