New at Dimes on the Lower East Side, NYC: The Island, a Rum and Habanero Cocktail
Dimes has added a new cocktail called The Island to its menu. It combines rum, cocchi, lime, pineapple and habanero, and the kitchen describes it as not too sweet, just sweet enough.
Dimes, the Canal Street restaurant on the Lower East Side, put a new cocktail on its menu on October 8. It's called The Island, and the restaurant announced it on its official Instagram account.
The list of ingredients reads rum, cocchi, lime, pineapple and habanero. Rum and pineapple point toward a tropical drink, while lime brings acidity and habanero adds a little heat. Cocchi, an Italian aromatized wine, should give the glass some depth beyond simple fruit sweetness. The restaurant's own description is short and to the point: it's not that sweet, but just sweet enough.
It's an easy pick for anyone who wants a hint of the islands as the weather cools in New York. The cocktail sits on the regular menu at Dimes, so it can be ordered with a meal or on its own.
