Boutique Bar has been teasing the Church Street coterie with its martinis for almost three years now. The swish spot is outfitted with plenty of nouveau rococo pieces, while an electric fireplace next to the bar adds a touch of warmth. Co-owner Julien Salomone has crafted an extensive cocktail menu that’s ideal for an after-work tipple.
We fell for the chocolate raspberry mousse martini ($10), one of Salamone’s winter libations. Aiming to recreate the sumptuous dessert, the libation blends Polar Ice vodka with McGuinness dark crème de cacao liqueur, Chambord liqueur and a daily-made raspberry puree. Dark chocolate shavings add a final, decadent touch.
