When a Colombian fruit gets into a classic
The tonic gin is a formula that’s barely been touched: gin, tonic and some citrus, usually lemon or cucumber. It’s one of the most simple and at the same time more difficult to ruin cocktails, and this also makes them an unexplored ground for experimentation. In 3 Soles decided to break that rule with the Gin Tónica de Lulo ($46,000, 2×1), replacing the citrus that was expected with the lulo, a Colombian fruit with a particular acidity that completely changes his character to his drink. That’s the same logic as that that that that governs the rest of the The local cuisine of the restaurant: local ingredients before imported formulas are unadapted.
The lulo has a flavored profile that doesn’t look like any conventional citrus: it’s acid but with an almost herbal background and its smell is intense even in small quantities. The result in the gin is a less predictable drink with an aroma that looks nothing as anything that you have been expecting from the classical formula. It’s from the most ordered cocktails among those who first visit the bar and they want something they haven’t been trying before, precisely because lulo’s a fruit that’s practically nobody’s been knowing about outside Colombia.
The motitites that bring the tropics to the table
The motititias of the letter have a logic similar to that of the gin tonic: they leave from the classic, rum, peppermint, lemon and sugar and add local fruit to give them an identity of their own. The Mojito Red Fruits and the Mojito Yellow Fruits ($40,300 each, 2×1) are the two fruit versions, each with a different tidal and acidity profile as a fruit that predominates, while the classical Mojito ($49,000, 2×1) remains true to the original recipe for those who prefer to avoid deviating from what we have known.
There’s also a version of Mojito without alcohol ($32,200, 2×1), thought for whoever’s or simply doesn’t care about them, without sacrificing the taste of the drink and the experience of having something worked out in his hand while the rest of his group wants to have his drink cocktails.
Why these drinks work well in savannah climate
The climate of Chia, more fresh than that of Bogotá for most of the day but with sunny evenings, favours this type of refreshing cocktails above heavier or creamy drinks. A fruit motito or a gin of lulo best enjoy them outdoors, at one of the best 3 Sole Country HallsThat in a closed space, that makes the location of the restaurant enhance the experience to take them.
If you have little time, ask for this.
The Gin Tónica de Lulo ($46,000) is the best entrance door if you want something different and Colombian in a known format. If you prefer something more fresh and light to accompany a long afternoon, any of the fruit motites will do well and if the group includes someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, the motito without alcohol will ensure that nobody remains out of the plan.
