Native tradition breathes life into the beverage program at Wax Myrtle’s. Using a plethora of those native substances, the mixology crew makes a speciality of Massive Format Drinks. Why Massive Format? The reply is to deliver pleasure to the hearts of patrons, by triggering these golden childhood reminiscences.
Elaborating on the inspiration behind these drinks, Land and Sea Dept.’s Beverage Director, Charlie Schott mentioned, “I drew on childhood experiences. Summer time day journeys to the seashore. Household reunions within the park. I would like adults to be as excited a couple of blue fruity Margarita as eight-year-old me was about Capri Suns and Hello-C.”
“Hold it easy!” says Scott. “When creating a big format drink, you have to keep in mind that three or 4 individuals must agree on this one drink. The drink itself is a backdrop to the group’s time collectively, it must be simple and approachable with broad enchantment. Additionally, an enormous clear cowboy hat to serve it in helps!” he laughs.
Other than providing distinctive concoctions, Wax Myrtle’s maintains a strong bar program by emphasizing the significance of human interplay. Their staff genuinely care about visitor expertise and the standard of the service they supply. Wrapping up, Beverage Director Charlie reminds us “Gear, glassware, and booze will be bought however the human aspect will actually set you aside from the remainder of the pack. You may’t purchase tradition, it’s a must to domesticate it”
