Talking about Cocktails

Over the years, Buvette has built a sterling reputation for the quality of its cocktails and bar service. So sometimes a guest sits down and asks, “What should I get?” Here are some follow-up questions to help determine what the guest will most enjoy: Do you typically prefer light spirits or dark? Do you like something citrusy, smoky, herbaceous, or fruit-forward? Shaken, stirred, or on the rocks? When a guest leaves their drink choice entirely up to you, a good rule of thumb is to feature whatever is freshest and in season: from herbs, to fruit, to the style of cocktail – something light and refreshing in summer, or comforting and fortifying in winter.
