Fall 2014 Cocktail Series: A Nubar Rouge in Essence

Last week, we shared the first of several posts in our Fall 2014 Cocktail Series that we staged and shot at local restaurant Nubar. The first recipe was a Classic Manhattan served in a Simon Pearce Geo glass.

This week's post introduces a different brand, iittala, and showcases one of Nubar's signature cocktail. The Nubar Rouge, served in an iittala Essence Cocktail Bowl, is a complex cocktail with a lot going on. It's slightly effervescent from a cava float at the end, which makes it a really unique and interesting drink. It's bright ruby color is also quite beautiful!

The Nubar Rouge includes Lillet Rouge, Don Ciccio, Hibiscus liqeuer, St. Germain liqeuer, and a splash of cava on top. Garnish with a lemon peel, if desired.
