Atlanta’s Cocktail of the Week: Tiki Thai at Buckhead Diner

While most cocktail menus are focusing on their full-bodied wines and heavy, warm weather bourbons and cocktails, Atanta’s upscale Buckhead Diner decided to go a different route. The “Tiki Thai” of the newest libations added to the winter cocktail menu at Buckhead Diner and it’s currently a guest favorite. According to  Buckhead Diner’s Beverage Manager Jessica Purdy “ We wanted to create a cocktail that would serve as a reprieve from heavy winter cocktails.”

The “Tiki Thai” combines the fresh sweet-tart flavors of fresh pineapple and grapefruit juice with the complex sweetness of dark rum and coconut rum. The result is a cocktail that’s bright and citrusy but complex enough to be interesting.  The drink is even garnished with a luxardo cherry and tiny umbrella”  So, we recommend you try Atlanta’s Cocktail of The Week at Buckhead Diner and see for yourself what all the buzz is about.
