Review of Spaceman Cocktail at Analogue by xinru-t
The bartender explained that the idea behind this cocktail was to feature foods that astronauts purportedly eat in outer space. ๐ฉโ๐๐ Apart from gin, Campari, and Cocchi, this cocktail mainly consisted of clarified peanut butter and kyoho grapes (as a reference to peanuts and freeze-dried fruits), giving a concentrated scent of PB&J without the oil. ๐ฅ๐ The garnish on top was inspired by freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches (though some have debunked the myth that astronauts really consume them) - soy protein eggless meringue flavoured with tonka bean, strawberry powder, and coconut nectar, topped with a dollop of housemade carob gel (in lieu of cacao). ๐จ๐ซ I also found it interesting that they went all-out with the concept of the drink, serving it in a Lunite ceramic cup locally handmade by Art Occasians, with a textured surface reminiscent of the pitted craters on the moon~ ๐๐ Quite pricey but props for the creativity! ๐ธ P.S. The coaster was also locally made by The Plastic Project / Plastify using recycled plastic~ ($26) #sgvegan #sgdrinks #cocktail #minorityowned
