Before the first sip, a cocktail's color sets expectations and stirs anticipation, and the Palette cocktail collection by Bacchanalia and Apollo’s Muse is a celebration of hues, textures and fine details. Created to provide an immersive sensory experience of the restaurant's art, architecture and design, the cocktails are presented within an aesthetically pleasing magazine, calling attention to mosaic floors, painted surfaces and sculptures. As such, the entirety of the experience has the potential to help guests appreciate Bacchanalia in a new light.
On the Palette menu, Onyx expresses the depth and richness of black stone with Cîroc vodka with citrus, tamarind and aloe vera, while the burgundy marble throughout Bacchanalia is encapsulated with Rosso Levanto, an elegant serve crafted with Casamigos Blanco Tequila clarified with blackcurrant, prune and pomegranate.
