A cocktail that captures the essence of a hamburger may sound like a fanciful dream or perhaps the ultimate hangover remedy. It’s the kind of idea you’d playfully discuss with friends while enjoying a few drinks.
At The Torch Bar and Grill in Flint, Michigan, Christopher Reynolds, the general manager, has embarked on a mission to experiment with innovative and intriguing cocktails. His latest creation is a testament to boldness and creativity.
Introducing the “Torch Flame” cocktail – a truly original concoction that transforms a beloved dive bar classic, the Torch burger, into a liquid form. To craft this extraordinary libation, Reynolds starts with high-quality, in-house burger meat infused with a medley of onions and spices. He expertly extracts the delectable juices from the simmered meat, transforming them into a warm and flavorful shot. This shot is then accompanied by a second glass filled with Jameson Irish Whiskey, or the patron’s preferred bourbon or whiskey.
Reynolds explains, “You start with the Jameson shot, and then you follow it with the house-made Au Jus, and it tastes like you’re sipping on a liquid Torch burger. It’s a truly unique experience. No one has ever encountered anything quite like this before. It’s akin to enjoying a hamburger pickleback.”
The Torch Flame cocktail not only pays homage to the beloved Torch burger but also showcases the innovative spirit of The Torch Bar and Grill. This daring creation invites patrons to embark on a culinary and gustatory adventure like no other, turning the traditional bar experience into a memorable culinary journey. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a curious diner seeking a one-of-a-kind taste, the Torch Flame promises an experience that defies expectations and tantalizes the taste buds.
