(Left to right) The Crown of… & Meant To Be Queen
For the month of March, Anti:dote will debut a Special Drinks Menu exclusively crafted for International Women’s Day by Anti:dote’s star bartender Angela Chen.
Inspired by Anti:dote’s present-day British concept, Angela’s menu is a tribute to Queen Elizabeth, a woman who embodies both elegance and grace, as well as the overall philosophy that that women across the world can be their own queen and uphold their own crowns.
Available exclusively for the month of March, two featured cocktails will include a botanical and floral infusion that complements the female palette perfectly. For instance, the Meant To Be Queen cocktail is a light, fruity and refreshing twist on the classic Daiquiri, which includes Chamomile-infused Rum, Lemon & Yuzu Juice, Apple Cordial, Aquafaba and Soda Water. The Crown Of… cocktail is a smooth, strong and spirit-forward twist on the classic Martini, which includes a mix of London Dry Gin, Sakura Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, Lime Bitters and Thyme Mist. Cocktails will be priced at $$22++ for one, and $$40++ for two.
