Madam Geneva Gets Sexy With Jam

AvroKo's Double Crown made it through its friends and family period and opened to the public on Monday. Head over to our friends at Eater for a looksee. Also opened is Madam Geneva, the separate basement lounge which we told you would feature gin cocktails and proper sandwiches into the wee hours of the morning. Man about town Alex Balk stopped by and reports:
Was at this bar last night where the cocktail gimmick is “jam.” They take a gin and citrus beverage and stir in one of three or four varieties of jam. I can’t remember what they all were, probably because I had about nine of them, but there was a coriander and ginger one that was actually quite nice. The drinks were actually much better than you’d expect given the description, and the whole patter about how “as the jam becomes part of the cocktail it gives a deeper complexity” was more or less true. Either way, the only thing I can taste in the back of my mouth this morning is jam, which is unpleasant. Also? I feel like I’m going to crap out a scone.
That sounds delicious Alex. And nasty. We may just have to make a trip to see the jam doctor later this week.
