Cocktails that taste like burgers? Yes, these seriously exist!
Recreating flavours of our favourite foods in drinks is not something new to mixologists, but these cocktails go one step further. In honour of National Burger Day, celebrated every year on 28 May, we scoured the internet for Burger Cocktails!
The Cheese Burger Cocktail
Initially inspired by National Sandwich Day, Flor de Caña rum teamed up with top mixologists to create this cocktail that tastes like a Cheeseburger. The cocktail was created by Trevor Burnett and Whitney Munro of Tipicular Fixin’s, a cocktail consultancy and catering business based in Toronto.
Maple Bacon Old Fashion
The bacon-infused-bourbon-and-maple-syrup cocktail was created by Don Lee, a mixologist at the PDT bar in New York. The cocktail has been gaining in popularity among the table-syrup crowd—not to mention bacon-loving barflies.
The Cheeseburger Red Snapper
The historical origins of the Red Snapper date to post-Prohibition New York City, when French barman extraordinaire Fernand “Pete” Petiot left Harry’s Bar in Paris to for the King Cole Room at the St. Regis Hotel in NYC. At Harry’s in Paris, Petiot was famed for a tomato juice and vodka drink that was named the Bloody Mary and after a customer.
