Must-try drinks, trending cocktails and behind the bar advice
3 to try this summer
1
WHITE PEACH AND MANGO DAIQUIRI: A deliciously blended mocktail, the hint of botanicals will leave everyone’s taste buds tingling. Serve with plenty of ice.
2
STRAWBERRY AND ORANGE BLOSSOM MOJITO: A new no-alcohol twist on the classic drink, this is delicious served in a highball glass with a sprig of mint and a strawberry.
3
MOUNTAIN RANGE ROSE: Made from grapes grown in eastern Chile’s Andes Mountain range, this wine is vibrant, refreshing and has fruity, floral notes.
What's on your bar?
We talk to Norten De Souza, Bar Supervisor, Sonrisa Comida Argentina, Leicester:
“We are an Argentinian Restaurant and Cocktail Bar located in the heart of Leicester. We create a unique Buenos Aires experience with a wide variety of small sharing plates, steaks and Latin-themed cocktails.”
Desert island drink: It would probably be a simple Margarita or Mai Tai.
My new tipple: That would be a Lychee Martini, a tropical take on a classic.
Most versatile soft drink: With the current menu it would be pineapple juice.
Top upselling tip: A thorough knowledge of your products is definitely the best way to upsell. Using tricks like dry ice or flaming can also get the guests’ attention.
Current customer favourite: Always a Pornstar Martini. Though one of our guests’ favourites is a twist of it, the Superstar Martini.
