spoonbar!
Spoonbar’s Mai Tai Follow the Mediterranean down to Morocco and you’ll end up with the menu for Spoonbar. Chef Rudy Mihal applies modern Mediterranean flavors to ingredients grown and produced locally. That same focus carries over to master mixologist Scott Beattie’s cocktails, which use specially sourced organically-grown herbs, fruits and vegetables in cocktails such as a classic margarita, mai tai or negroni. The colorful dining room with long communal table crafted from a split tree, and a unique spoon filled water wall opens onto the street through wide open cantina doors. Spoonbar is open nightly for dinner and will open for lunch in September.

Margarita
We take great pride in offering delicious, purist Margaritas here at Spoonbar; no bad mixto tequila, no orange liqueur, and no salt, unless you’re wanting to mask the flavor of our tasty drinks. Our classic Margarita is simply Tres Agaves Blanco, Organic Agave Nectar, and fresh lime juice ($7.50/$37.50). We also find Don Julio Blanco an excellent option ($9/$45), or perhaps the local option with St. George Aqua Libre Agave Spirit (essentially, a tequila made in the East Bay) for $11/$55.
Mai Tai
The term Mai Tai usually congers up images of plastic stir straws, paper umbrellas, 12 kinds of rum and fruit juice in a massive ceramic Tiki mug. No, the original version developed by Trader Vic Burgeron in the 1940’s was a delightful mixture of aged Jamaican Rum, Orange Curacao, Orgeat (Almond) Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice, and rock candy syrup. We offer you our most similar replication of this with Appleton Reserve Rum at $7.50/$37.50 as well as a super local version that utilizes St. George’s new Aqua Libre Rum, Qi orange liqueur, Orgeat, Demerera Syrup, and fresh lime $9/$45.
Daiqueri
This Cuban classic has many different variations. Our favorite is a slight variation of the “La Floridita” and has 2 kinds of light rum, lime juice, agave nectar, maraschino liqueur, and a touch of Angostura bitters $7.50/$37.50. Ernest Hemingway liked his with grapefruit juice and we’d be happy to make you one that he would find worthy for $7.50/37.50.
Dark n’ Stormy
The classic varieties of this cocktail usually involve combining dark rum and ginger beer and then tossing a lime wheel in. We’ve found that this is a nice place to start but a Dark n’ Stormy gets much more interesting with the addition of a healthy dose of fresh lime juice, essential oil of ginger, and Angostura bitters. We can prepare this for you with the traditional choice of Appleton Reserve from Jamaica for $7.50/$37.50. Also worth consideration might be a Dark n’ Stormy made with Ron Zecapa Solera 23, fabricated from fresh pressed cane juice grown in the volcanic soils of Guatemala for $8/$40. A full bodied, yet clean Domaine Charbay Tahitian Vanilla Bean version will set you back $9/$45.
