In the world of mixology, the difference between a good cocktail and an exceptional one often lies in the details. At Bramàre, our commitment to excellence is reflected not only in our inspired Italian cuisine but also in our meticulously crafted cocktails. Central to our cocktail program is the use of house-made syrups, infusions, and the freshest garnishes, which elevate our beverages to an unparalleled level of quality and sophistication.

The Art of House-Made Syrups

House-made syrups are a cornerstone of Bramàre's cocktail offerings. Unlike commercial syrups, which often contain artificial flavors (like corn syrup) and preservatives, our syrups are crafted in-house using the finest ingredients. This allows our mixologists to control the flavor profile precisely and ensure a purity that can’t be matched by mass-produced alternatives.

For instance, the syrup used in our “Speyside Swizzle” cocktail is a perfect blend of coconut and pineapple, creating a tropical base that pairs beautifully with Glenmorangie 10-Year Monkey Shoulder Scotch and Bruto Americano. By making the syrup in-house, we ensure that each sip delivers a balanced, harmonious flavor, free from any synthetic aftertaste.

The Magic of Infusions

Infusions are another vital element that sets Bramàre’s cocktails apart. Infusing spirits with herbs, fruits, and spices allows us to create unique and complex flavors that are integral to our cocktail menu. The process of infusion requires time, patience, and a deep understanding of flavor combinations.

Take “The Bramare Old Fashioned” as an example. This cocktail features Henry McKenna 10yr bottled-in-bond bourbon infused with blade mace, vanilla, and green cardamom. The infusion process extracts the aromatic oils and essences from these spices, imparting a depth of flavor that transforms the bourbon into something truly extraordinary. This attention to detail is what makes our Old Fashioned stand out in a sea of similar cocktails.

Fresh Garnishes: The Finishing Touch

No cocktail is complete without the perfect garnish. At Bramàre, we believe that garnishes are more than just a decorative element; they are an integral part of the cocktail experience. Fresh garnishes add a burst of flavor, aroma, and visual appeal that enhance the overall drinking experience.

In “You Makin’ A Me Caprese,” the garnish of basil and cucumber not only adds a fresh, vibrant aroma but also complements the flavors of Moletto Tomato gin and Carpano Antica. Similarly, the aromatic and orange bitters in “The Bramare Old Fashioned” are accentuated by a twist of fresh orange peel, providing a citrusy zing that elevates the drink.

Seasonal Rotation for Fresh Quality

To maintain our promise of exceptional and fresh quality, Bramàre’s cocktail offerings rotate seasonally. This approach allows us to take advantage of the freshest ingredients available throughout the year. By aligning our menu with the seasons, we ensure that our cocktails are not only delicious but also reflective of the natural rhythms of the year.

For example, our “The Bragato” cocktail, a nitro-infused tableside affogato, might feature different seasonal flavors depending on the time of year. In summer, it could highlight the bright, fruity notes of berries, while in winter, it might emphasize the warm, comforting flavors of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

A Testament to Quality and Craftsmanship

At Bramàre, every cocktail is a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The use of house-made syrups, carefully curated infusions, and the freshest garnishes ensures that each drink is a unique and memorable experience. Whether you’re savoring the innovative flavors of “The Bragato” or enjoying the balanced complexity of “The Bramare Old Fashioned,” you can be assured that every element has been thoughtfully crafted to deliver the ultimate cocktail experience.

As you join us at Bramàre, we invite you to explore our cocktail menu and discover the artistry and passion that goes into every glass. Cheers to exceptional cocktails and unforgettable moments!
