BANDEREGO

Bartenders: Hov Zatikyan, Armen Matevosyan, Anna Navasardyan, Konstantin Chernyadiev, Alexander Golovko Junior Bartenders: Bagrat Arakelyan, Areg Grigoryan, Vasiliy Vabishevich. Astronomer gin, Adriatico amaretto, Dollin dry, lime cordial, bolosan royal, Garnish: Nabbat (grape sugar) Inspiration: YVN XX is a cocktail inspired by the last century and the architectural changes that have influenced the modern image of Yerevan. It was based on the recipe of the classic cocktail “XX Century” which we modified by adding Astronomer gin and bolosan, a herbal bitter, created according to ancient recipes from Matenadaran based on more than fifty herbs. The garnish is the grape sugar lying on the bottom, resembling an untreated gem. Just as jewellers turn these rocks into jewels, Armenian architects have been building the modern look of the city by giving their all. As the cocktail changes temperature, the sugar makes the drink a little sweeter, which is how the achievements of the last century improve our lives today.
