Happy May Day!

New on the menu, just in time for the Derby, and honoring Iran with another cocktail:

RIVAS BERRY JULEP

Taking our classic rhubarb julep and adding seasonal organic strawberries, with 101 bourbon, along with mint, rose, and other Persian flavors. Did you know the word “julep” comes via the Arabic “jallab” and ultimately from Persian “golab”, meaning rose water?

Strawberries, mint, and crushed ice also give it the colors of the Iranian flag. As always, we support peace and freedom for the people of Iran!

Come get one from or other talented bartenders. Salamati, doostan!

Whether you call it gojeh in Iraqi Arabic, gojeh sabz in Persian, janerik in the Levant, and yeşil erik in Turkish, the region goes crazy for these sour green unripe plums. There’s gojeh in every drink, as well as , citrus, and other deliciousness.

Then:

SAKURA HIGHBALL

نوروز پيروز! سال نو مبارک!
Newroz pîroz be!

Bringing back the Farvardin cocktail, named for the first month in the Persian calendar, which we’re in now, the first day of Spring and of Nowrouz, celebrated across Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Kurdistan, Anatolia, Azerbaijan, the Balkans, and more.

Heavily influenced by Iranian culture and cuisine, the cocktail’s got saffron, verjus (sour grape juice), and bitters made with a host of Persian spices, herbs, and flowers, all supporting Singani, one of our favorite spirits and one that tastes and smells super springlike with its bright floral notes.

As we said yesterday: we oppose the war on Iran. We oppose tyrannical regimes here and abroad. And we support the Iranian people and their culture.

Come by and have our classic Nowrouz cocktail, and once more, here’s hoping the new year brings a new, free Iran.

بهار آمد بهار آمد بهار مشکبار آمد
نگار آمد نگار آمد نگار بردبار آمد
صبوح آمد صبوح آمد صبوح راح و روح آمد

کوکتل نو آمد

عرق و انار
برای بهار
برای ایران آزاد

We have a brand new cocktail in time for , the Persian new year, and for spring, and for a free Iran.

ARAGH AND ANAR

Made with the first Iranian style aragh in the US, from our friends at .nyc , we turn it into a to a springtime sour with pomegranate (anar) and a few of our touches.

From Sag’s website:

“Aragh sagi is a distilled spirit made from raisins which first originated in Iran. Though it has been banned for decades, it still thrives in underground circles. We created Sag to share this countercultural drink with the broader world, using the finest Californian raisins and distilled in small batches in Yonkers. Neat or mixed in a cocktail, Sag brings the taste of Iran’s underground to you, traveling from far away to bridge the distance between us.

A variant of the raisin-based Aragh Keshmesh (meaning “distilled raisins”), SAG is a contemporary take on the Aragh Sagi, issued by the Meikadeh company in the 1960s. Taking its popular name (literally meaning “distilled dog” and sometimes plainly referred to as ‘dog sweat’) from the image of a beagle on the label, Aragh Sagi has — like all alcohol — been a stray dog in its home country since the Islamic revolution in 1979. Now exiled to illegalized home distilleries and consumed in hiding from the authorities, the history of Aragh Sagi is, however, also the history of a long middle eastern tradition of distillation and consumption of alcohol.”

We oppose the war on Iran. We oppose tyrannical regimes here and abroad. And we support the Iranian people and their culture.

Come try our first ever cocktail with Sag, and here’s hoping the new year brings a new Iran.
