Dubai chocolate has become a sensation, reaching beyond its origin to influence global dessert offerings. In NYC, eateries are experimenting with this trend, enabling natives and visitors to indulge in unique adaptations. A prominent example is the Dubai Me A Drink cocktail at Sungold, which reinterprets traditional Arabic flavors using American corn vodka, pistachio cream, and a blend of chocolate liqueur and bitters. This cocktail, along with its chocolate embellishments, represents a creative fusion of cultures and flavors, enticing dessert lovers everywhere.
Sip your dessert by sidling up to the bar at Sungold, the Italian leaning, seasonally-driven restaurant set inside the Brooklyn hotel. Rather than replicate the original Arabic treat, mixologist Armando Acevedo made it his own, infusing his spiked interpretation with nostalgic, high-impact flavors.
To mimic the dazzling, green and gold bars first created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, curvy coup glasses are embellished with generous swipes of chocolate and showering of crispy kataifi (shredded phyllo). The textural contrasts in this cocktail are deliciously thrilling.
