New York Sip & Guzzler ๐
๐Review: Absolutely delicious! ๐ธ Speaklow was my introduction to the world of cocktail bars, and from there, I moved on to Odd Couple and Sober Company. ๐ฅ I've been enjoying Shingo's drinks for years, so whenever he comes to New York for SG, I basically make it a point to visit. Every time Shingo comes to New York, I never order from the regular menu. Shingo always brings some fascinating spirits, like Empirical's cilantro-infused liquor, Fort Hamilton's watermelon gin, and Capovilla's tobacco grappa. ๐ Combined with fresh local fruits and vegetables from New York, fermented products, and each version of Kokuto Liqueur brought from Japan, he can create many interesting custom cocktails. ๐ฅ For example, a Last Word with fresh green peas and a Hotpot Negroni washed with cilantro, Sichuan peppercorn, and chicken oil (which is now on the menu). Although Shingo has been based in Tokyo since the opening of the third floor Sangai at Tokyo SG, I've heard that he returns to New York every two months for Speaklow and Sober's Popup events, which is something to look forward to. #best50bar ๐ #NewYorkBar ๐ฝ
