Our philosophy at The Plaza Bar is simple. For the purists, we take it all the way back to the core foundation of what a cocktail really is by reintroducing the sour, the collins, the mule, and the aromatic based classic cocktails for you to indulge and enjoy. For the more adventurous, we offer artisanal cocktails that are drinkable works of art. Artisanal cocktails show its audience how to select prime produce, identify stunning edible flowers, create original garnishes, and also how to assemble cocktails in a very easy, but particular fashion that will result in visually appealing drinks. Artisanal cocktails use the basic sour recipe (or some variation of a sour) with edible components within the drink and also a sparkling component, whether it is soda water, sparkling wine or ginger beer. The edible components are both visually appealing and add depth to the cocktail. For the beer enthusiast, we offer a range of ales and lagers. For the wine connoisseur, we offer a broad selection of wines by the glass. No arguments here, just please sit back, relax and enjoy.

The sour is essentially the simplest form of a cocktail and is the basis for many cocktails. The sour consist of a base spirit, lemon or lime juice (sour), and a type of sweetener to balance the acid. There are endless opportunities for variations when it comes to the sour; add something here and a little something there and you have a variation of the sour.

The Collins cocktail was created by Jerry Thomas around 1876 and it is essentially a sour with soda water added to the finished cocktail. There are many different variations of the collins which just incorporate a different spirit and/or liqueur as the base. CUCUMBER COOLER cucumber mint vodka / st. germaine / lime / soda FRENCH '75 gin / lemon / sparkling wine POMEGRANATE PALOMA reposado tequila / grapefruit / lemon / pomegranate / soda GRAPEFRUIT MOJITO grapefruit rum / lime / mint / soda COLLINS
Mules are a lot like the collins cocktail but they typically use a flavored soda to add sweetness and depth to the cocktail. Mules are also often enjoyed in a copper mug which keeps the drink extremely cold for enjoyment.

Aromatic cocktails typically consist of just spirits. The idea behind an aromatic cocktail is to enhance the flavors within the base spirit that is being used. Most aromatic cocktails date back to before prohibition and have been making a big comeback as of late.
