Keep reading to discover these appetizing add-ons that will be available starting October 1st.
Fall Cocktails at The Bar
Do you like a little spice, or prefer a sweet twist in your drink? Or maybe you’ll have one of each. Our team of expert mixologists have created the perfect fall menu infusing seasonal ingredients like apple cider, cacao, vanilla, and orange zest. These autumnal cocktails are perfect for donning your favorite sweater, grabbing a fireside seat at The Bar’s outdoor patio overlooking Payette Lake, and toasting to the change of the seasons.
Shore Cider
Get ready for pumpkin spice and everything nice with our festive Shore Cider. This bourbon-based drink is Shore Lodge’s take on the classic Hot Toddy recipe featuring notes of apples, Mediterranean citrus, and a hint of cinnamon spice.
Snow Capped
For our hot chocolate lovers, our hot Snow-Capped cocktail will satisfy your chocolate cravings with intense cacao flavors and an edge of minty goodness to round it out. Using Godiva Chocolate Liqueur and white Menthe, this aperitif can also double as a cozy dessert!
XOXO
This out-of-this-world creamy tequila-based cocktail features a burst of mocha flavor with orange and poblano peppers notes. Exactly what you need to warm up during a chilly fall evening.
Cosmo-not
Our gin-based mix features an autumn twist on a classic Cosmo – the tartness of pomegranate and citrus pair perfectly with the dryness of the gin and the herbal aromas of rosemary.
Sweet Start
Here’s a sophisticated twist on an espresso martini that features the kick of a freshly brewed espresso, with the dynamic flavors of vanilla and salted caramel for contrast.
Wine and Cheese Pairings at The Bar
If cocktails aren’t your go-to nightcap, we invite you to check out our recommended cheese pairings and expand your palate’s portfolio as you sip and mingle over a selection of wines and cheeses offered right at The Bar.
To find your ideal preference, we’ll let you in o a secret. The answer lies in the ability to know the underlying flavors of the wine you’re drinking. Thick and sweet wines go well with pungent and crumbly cheeses, while a bright and acidic wine will pair better with soft and sweet cheese. Becoming familiar with distinguished wines and tasting different varietals is key to being a wine pairing master. Here’s a quick guide on our most notable pairings:
- Pinot Noir (Bright Berry) & Cheddar (Smoky and sharp)
- Malbec (Velvety Fruit) & Stilton (Delicately complex)
- Riesling (Tangy citrus) & Brie (Sweet and creamy)
