Danico

"Tucked away in the back of the bustling Daraoco Bourse restaurant, the intimate speakeasy vibe cocktail bar had its own melody. We were lucky to be seated in the middle of the U shaped bar. Introduced to the French edition of the Danico Xplorer cocktail menu where this iteration of drinks is inspired by France’s regional culinary traditions, local ingredients, and spirits. These offerings are part of the final chapter in a series of seasonal menus dedicated to other cultures (e.g. Mexico and Japan). My favorite of the night came in the form of France in a Perfume bottle: citadelle gin, St-Germaine, jasmine, flower cordial, elderflower pickles, and ylang-ylang. The sweetness from the ylang ylang was both aromatic and seductive with spirt forwardness that doesn’t get lost in the floral scents. Along with the fun and talented bartenders, there were a few regulars and new comers that contributed to the enchanting wavelength at Danico, sharing other places that share a similar level of craftsmanship for cocktails. Look forward to another seasonal menu in the future. Merci beaucoup!"
