We love how cocktail menus enable bartenders a possibility to get artistic. The menu is the embodiment of not solely the meals and drinks you provide but it surely’s additionally your venue in a snapshot. Right here, we check out a few of that cocktail creativity with Kittyhawk’s eleventh menu, devoted to the tales, feats, accomplishments and folks of WWII.
The workforce began planning this again in June with managers Daniel Hilton and Mary White sitting down with owner-operator Jared Merlino to debate the way forward for Kittyhawk’s beverage program and what they needed it to seem like. Having taken their title after the WWII fighter jet and impressed by end-of-war celebrations, the most recent menu leans closely into its themes.
Group Ops Supervisor Mary White says: “This record is not like something we’ve performed earlier than, with our bar supervisor taking a extremely technical and out-of-the-box method to the drinks. This is likely one of the greatest menus I’ve ever seen so far, and we’re very pleased with the outcomes.”
4 key phrases have been chosen to encourage and curate this record – Liberty, Engineering, Innovation and Adorned – focusing their creativity and method to the brand new menu. Now in a standalone guide, the 4 themes act as chapters, narrating the historical past that’s slowly being misplaced from residing reminiscence.
Liberty captures the small moments of celebration and frivolity whereas Engineering champions the technical and sharper drinks. Innovation is the place Bar Supervisor, Daniel Hilton, has run wild with out-of-the-box flavours and Adorned closes out the record with our very best variations of break up base basic cocktails (Sazeracs, Martinis, Previous Fashioneds).
Daniel says, “This menu acts as a time capsule, supplying you with small moments to discover and uncover the previous – to find one thing new as you sip away. I’ve all the time been impressed by Salvatore Calabrese’s ‘Historical past in a Glass’ chat and I needed to create one thing that really represented Kittyhawk and what we’re about”.
The menu is obtainable in venue now.
