Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Decant is a wine bar whose beverage program extends well beyond wine. The cocktail list includes eight named drinks with specific branded spirits, such as Colin's Old Fashion with Larceny Bourbon and Antica Formula, and the mocktail list adds six zero-proof options. Owner Jessica Cahill is a Certified Sommelier, and the wine side is built around discovering wines from around the world and comparing them with local selections. Cocktails and mocktails are made with organic ingredients and fresh squeezed juices per the menu.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Colin's Old Fashion, made with Larceny Bourbon, Antica Formula, orange, and cherry. For a zero-proof option, the Jasmine Milk Tea combines jasmine tea, coconut cream, milk, and cinnamon bark. On the wine side, ask about the global and local comparison the program is built around.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone comparing a full cocktail list against a serious zero-proof selection will find both here. The wine program suits guests interested in a sommelier-led approach to global and local bottles.
- When should I go?
- Go when you want to compare a cocktail against a mocktail from the same menu, or when the wine comparison is the priority.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beverage list pairs eight named cocktails with eight branded spirits against six named zero-proof mocktails, all described as made with organic ingredients and fresh squeezed juices. A Certified Sommelier owns the wine side, which is designed for comparing global and local selections.
