Elettaria

Fri., May 23, 2008

Elettaria was pricey but only okay and not knock-my-socks-off awesome like I thought it’d be. The duck, which got the nod in the New Yorker review, was served atop an Indian-spiced curry, which on the whole was bland. I was most looking forward to the cocktails; the “mixologists” at Elettaria built on their craft at Freemans and Death & Co. My Zombie Punch, based on a recipe from 1934, contained a sock-knocking combination of rum (Appleton VX, Brugal Gold and 151 El Dorado Demerara), lime, Velvet Falernum liqueur and absinthe, in a tall, ceramic, ’60s-green tiki-mug. I appreciated the eGullet poster who noted:

Zombie Punch: This tasted like jungle juice with cinnamon.
