Elegant and refined alcohol-free sippers crafted to complement
Chef’s Tasting Menu
Hawksworth Restaurant & Bar is adding another dimension to their award-winning bar program with the introduction of Zero Proof cocktail pairings, as an alternative complement to the Chef’s Tasting Menu.
Hawksworth’s Zero Proof cocktails are expertly crafted by a skilled team of bartenders. Made with fresh juices, herbs and house-made aromatic sprays, the Zero Proof pairings are expertly designed with food-friendly flavours in mind, as well as being a lighter alternative to wine pairings.
“We have modeled our Zero Proof pairing to be comparable with an equivalent wine varietal that would usually feature alongside each of the five tasting menu courses,” Bar & Lounge Manager Brad Stanton explains. “For example, as an alternative to the 09 Hecht & Bannier Saint Chinian, currently paired with a main course of Angus Beef Tenderloin, we offer a Zero Proof Blackberry Peppercorn Coupe which echoes the same notes of savory ripe dark berry fruit and pepper spice that are found in the wine.”
The concept behind introducing Zero Proof pairings is to enhance the dining experience for all guests. Stanton continues, “If a guest opts not to pair their dinner with wine, they often steer towards soda or still water – our Zero Proof pairings showcase the skills of our bar team as well as presenting a beautifully balanced complement, which has been purposefully paired with elements of the dish.”
Chef’s Tasting Menu and both wine and Zero Proof offerings change frequently, reflecting seasonality of ingredients and the Chef’s inspirations. Currently, the Zero Proof pairing program features: Sparkling Elderflower Sour; Shiso, Cilantro and Lime Fizz; Lemon Basil Ice-Tea Julep; Grapefruit, Ginger & Mint Mule; Blackberry Peppercorn Coupe; and a Mixed Berry & Almond Melody.
Integrated visually with wine offerings to blend effortlessly with the sophistication of the occasion, Zero Proof cocktails prove to be most rewarding in the moment of “cheers” – with every guest raising an elegant glass to the enjoyment of the evening.
