Sustainable Cocktails Reign Supreme at The 18th Room
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
The 18th Room, a new speakeasy by Dave Oz, the bar and restaurant impresario behind famed cocktail den Bathtub Gin, has launched new eco-friendly "No Impact" cocktails by acclaimed barman Joseph Boroski, from Clarified Bloody Marys to Fat-Washed Banana Daiquiris. The hidden Chelsea bar, which takes its name from the 18th Amendment that ushered in Prohibition, is furthering cocktails that recycle, upcycle and use ingredients to their utmost.
Sustainable highlights include:
The 18th Room also announces more substantial dining options, including Steamed Red Snapper, Cacio e Pepe Pasta and Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde. While still offering lighter bar bites, the new menu now enables guests to stay and enjoy a relaxed dinner throughout the evening.
"Our sustainable cocktails have proven extremely popular with our guests," says Dave Oz, Owner, The 18th Room. "We are proud to work with Joseph Boroski, who pioneered eco-friendly practices in his Bangkok and Hong Kong bars. In addition, our culinary offerings now showcase the decadence and indulgence of the 1920s to make The 18th Room a one-stop destination for both cocktail enthusiasts and diners alike."
"The new cocktail menu presents a highly-curated range of classic drinks that we have modernized and made relevant to today's palate," says Joseph Boroski, Bar Director, The 18th Room. "They are familiar enough for guests to want to try them, but different enough to be surprising and engaging. Moreover, they continue our 'No Impact' approach that minimizes unnecessary waste by using ingredients to their absolute maximum extent."
