Kimchi Martini

By: Rosa Mendoza

Since the West Broad Bandshell opened a few months ago, it’s safe to say that everything Chef Romie and Tanika have put out has been extraordinary. This kimchi martini, crafted by bartender Keegan Fleming, nails both concept and sophistication. Whether or not you’re a fan of the brine in a dirty martini, this drink is undeniably sensual. It glides across the palate with a smoothness that balances the sharper notes of gochujang-infused kimchi juice. If Bloody Marys or salinity driven martinis are already in your repertoire—or if you’ve been curious about savory cocktails but never found the right entry point—this is the one.
