In the lobby of our Camden, Maine hotel at 16 Bay View Street, we invite you to sink into a comfy chair at our destination lounge, Vintage Room. When they’re not serving up scrumptious eats and smiling faces, our amazing mixologists are always innovating and experimenting with the craft of creating signature cocktails. Sometimes a new concoction emerges. Other times it’s a modern reboot of classic. All the time, you can count on remarkable, local ingredients and thoughtfully chosen aromatics. Oh, and they’re always delicious. Sometimes they even involve a bit of theatrics. That’s one way to stay warm during Maine winters!
A classic Sazerac is made with whiskey. But when she unboxed a new bottle of Casamigos Tequila, Megan was struck with the idea to take it down south. The Southbound Sazerac starts with an absinthe rinse in a rocks glass. To that, add 1 sugar cube, followed by a blend of bitters. Muddle and stir until fully dissolved. Casamigos Tequila comes next along with one solid block of ice. Garnish with a singed, dehydrated blood orange, lemon peel, and botanical.
We hope to see you at Vintage Room for a Southbound Sazerac of your own. For more drink ideas, menu updates, and event announcements, follow @vintageroomat16bayview on Instagram. Cheers!
