The Sugarcane Press is celebrating our r(h)um community and recognizing Columbus Monthly for their article, Tastemakers 2017: Barbara Reynolds & German Vasquez of The Bottle Shop. We are always eager to share innovative r(h)um cocktails developed by the best industry professionals.
Barbra Reynolds & German Vasquez of The Bottle Shop moved to Columbus from Miami and transformed an old Viking carryout in Victorian Village into one of the city’s most prominent cocktail bars.
The Bottle Shop’s bartenders’ excitement to share new creations with guests is palpable. The menu changes with the seasons as they experiment with new tastes and spirits. Reynolds is most proud of their spring 2017 menu. “I’m really excited about Mr. Green Jeans, which is one of our spring cocktails,” Reynolds says. “It has Rhum JM Blanc, Green Chartreuse and a house-made matcha coconut syrup. The Green Chartreuse really sets off the flavor of the matcha, and the grassiness of the rhum agricole keeps it from going too sweet.
