Zig Zag Café
[3] The Charm Offensive has Irish whiskey, Jamaican rum, Carpano bianco vermouth, Green Chartreuse, and chocolate bitters, and the Saipan Sling has bourbon, Braulio, sherry, and an orange cordial.[10] The bar also helped popularize the classic cocktail Corn'n'Oil, which includes rum, falernum, lime juice, and Angostura bitters.The original owners hired Ben Dougherty and Kacy Fitch as bar managers, and to lead the design and build a credible cocktail program.[16] Soon after being offered at Zig Zag, it became somewhat of cult hit in the Seattle and Portland areas and spread to cocktail bars in major cities worldwide.[21][22] He was such a part of Zig Zag that a Seattle Weekly editor visited the bar after Stenson's departure, to examine whether the business could survive.The editor, Mike Seely, reported that Zig Zag remained experimental and that the lead bartender and his team are "pretty goddamn great at what they do"."[3] Allecia Vermillion, writing for Seattle Metropolitan in 2014, opined that the bar's "cocktail credibility is unimpeachable", and that its bartenders can "turn on a dime" to give guests drinks that suit their mood.
