Move over, craft beer and cider: a time-honored-yet-trendy new revolution is taking over, and it’s calling you to stir, shake, and sip your way to the perfect craft cocktail.
So, get ready to break in your at-home bar cart, because once you discover the art of the craft cocktail here in Frankenmuth, your family and friends will be begging their new mixologist to whip up that knock-you-off-your-feet Negroni or that made-in-heaven Manhattan time and time again!
Prost! Wine Bar & Charcuterie
Don’t let the name fool you: while Prost! Wine Bar & Charcuterie is well known for its impressive selection of worldly wines (not to mention, wines on tap), this modern, European-patterned wine bar is equally known for its wow-worthy menu of stirred, built, and shaken craft cocktails. Savor the house-made syrups, soak in the simple, clean flavors of freshly mashed and muddled fruits and herbs, and sip slowly on these craft creations – where every infusion is intentional and each liquor incorporated is good down to the very last drop.
Here, the Whiskey Sour is made with fresh-squeezed citrus, the Old Fashioned with homemade simple syrup. Sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters reign supreme, and every drink is stirred, shaken, or built to be a work of art all its own. Sip on the signature Manhattan or the Martinez, bask in the Boulevardier or the Brooklyn, but, whatever you’re having from this surprising & signature craft cocktail menu – save space for a custom charcuterie board, gourmet pressed panini, or some shareable small plates to complement the spirits!
