SubAstor latest cocktail menu, “Biomes Of Brazil – Sixth Generation”, brings drinks focused on each of Brazil’s biomes to Sao Paulo
Famed São Paulo, Brazil bar SubAstor has unveiled its latest menu, “Biomes of Brazil – sixth generation”. The latest drinks list from the award-winning speakeasy focuses on the South American nation’s on the diversity of Brazil’s different natural habitats.
Featuring 12 cocktails, the “Biomes of Brazil – sixth generation” menu was created by SubAstor’s team, and led by Bar Manager Alex Sepulchro and Director Fabio La Pietra. The drinks are all influenced and inspired by the six main terrestrial Brazilian biomes: the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Pampa, and Pantanal. The team used a variety of techniques to represent some of the region’s main flavours, translating them into ingredients for these new cocktails. The menu is divided in two parts, Biomes of Brazil – representing the Biomes with six delicious drinks, and SubClassics, which includes iconic drinks recreated through a Brazilian lens.
A favourite from the menu is Pantal (awamori, sake, camomille, sweet potato, champagne acid, pequi, and tomato water), which represents its namesake biome through the ingredient Pequí. Commonly used in a form of oil for its anti-inflammatory benefits, it’s an aromatic fruit with a distinct citrusy and cheesy flavour.
Another favourite is Amazonia (gin, amaro bianco, guava nectar, falernum, rhubarb, chlorophyll, and mastruz butter). From this biome, the team wanted to showcase Mastruz, an important medicinal herb that’s also used in other regions. It brings a grassy and herbal profile that works brightens up the cocktail.
La Pietra’s favourite drink is Cerrado. A long drink made with tequila, bacuri, coconut oil, and um coffee co. pink bourbon cold brew, the ingredient that speaks for the biome is Bacuri. Refreshing and with a very distinctive flavour, bacuri is used mainly for its fruity and floral profile with a hint of fresh almond aftertaste.
Through its new menu, SubAstor looks to represent and pay respect to the whole country’s biodiversity. For more information or to make a reservation, head over to the bar’s official website.
