The most exquisite combination of art and alchemy can be tasted in the cocktails at Dr Stravinsky, a brilliant cocktail bar located in the Born district of Barcelona. And really very bright, since its distinguished decoration and lighting make you want to take refuge in the place to let yourself be served by the bartender.
In “Dr. Stravinsky” you can find a wide variety of drinks. For example, how exquisite to enjoy some notes of acidity in a dry triple macerated with chapulines (typical insect of Mexican gastronomy). Or better a dry martini flavored with truffle or a cocktail with the taste of ingredients distilled with a rotary evaporator that does not alter their molecular structures.
The cocktails are prepared with a homemade process. The best-selling “Camp Nou” is the best example. It is prepared with basil syrup, coriander, lime, dill, chamomile and house gin. It is the closest thing to a gin and tonic.
Cocktails at Dr Stravinsky’s
What most distinguishes the cocktail bar, considered one of the 50 best in the world, is that you will not find any commercial brand: no canned beers or Coca Cola. All thanks to the fact that 70% of their menu is their own creation and they offer more and more innovative drinks prepared directly on site.
Although they use vodkas and gins, the goal is to prepare their own bourbons and scotchs. A place of innovation and mix of flavors that make their drinks something unique in Barcelona. They also make meads and tepaches, a typical Mexican drink with a low alcohol content made from the fermentation of pineapple skins and brown sugar. It is very refreshing.
Cocktail options:
- Aegean cocktail.
- Generoso Sour Cocktail.
- Banana liqueur prepared with alembic (another distilling apparatus).
- The classic whiskey sour is enriched with other nuances when it is aged in a Pedro Ximénez barrel. With this technique, the cocktails are rounded off by passing the contents through bourbon barrels, which provide the sweetness of the raisined grapes, the ripe Port fruit and the saline touch of the Palo Cortado barrel.
Cocktails at Dr Stravinsky: a real challenge
