Nutmeg & Clove, located in the heart of the city, has become synonymous with the Ramos Gin Fizz, a cocktail known for its complexity and the skill required to make it just right.
Head bartender Gavin Teverasan, the mastermind behind Nutmeg & Clove’s signature drink, has perfected the art of creating a Ramos-style cocktail that pays homage to the bar’s namesake. This foamy concoction is a delicate balance of sweet, sour, and creamy notes, topped with a nostalgic Apollo chocolate-covered wafer bar that adds a touch of whimsy to the experience.
During the bar’s recent menu launch event, Teverasan wowed guests by serving up to 40 Ramos-style cocktails simultaneously, showcasing the bar’s commitment to pushing boundaries and creating unique drinking experiences. The challenge of making a perfect Ramos Gin Fizz is not lost on Teverasan and his team, who take pride in their ability to craft this notoriously difficult drink with precision and flair.
