What drink goes with Leonard Bernstein? 🍸🎶

For every “Twist” performance, we pair the diverse setlists with Dazzle’s fabulous drink menu for the perfect pairings. Here’s what we’ve got for DPO With a Twist on Friday, February 1:

Carlos Salzedo: Chanson dans la Nuit
pairs with… Old Soul Cabernet

You might expect a 1920s French composition to be paired with a gin cocktail, but Salzedo moved to the States as a young man. The Old Soul California Cabernet is the perfect blend of French heritage and American boldness.

Henry Mancini: Pink Panther
pairs with… The State

Sneak a sip of this pink drink while listening to this jazzy ’60 theme song by 20-time Grammy winner Henry Mancini.

Rebecca Moritzky: Varied Ztlaw
pairs with… Martini with a twist

A twist on a traditional waltz deserves to be paired with the most classic cocktail — the martini, with a twist.

Bart Howard: Fly Me to the Moon

Ol’ Blue Eyes’ signature cocktail was Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey, ice, and water. Keep it simple with his signature.

Moritzky: Nix’ Meteor Shower

A glass of shooting stars. What else is there to say?

Bernard Andres: Épices
pairs with… The Baur’s

A sweet and spicy libation, The Baur’s was made to pair with Andres’ tribute to nutmeg and vanilla! Enjoy this dessert cocktail featuring housemade vanilla gelato, spiced rum & amaretto, cream soda and toffee.

Moritzky: Castle in the Mist
pairs with… Aspall Dry English Cider

You may need to use your imagination to see a castle in the mist, but a cool, dry English cider in your hand is just moments away.

Deborah Henson-Conant: Baroque Flamenco
pairs with… Sangria

You’ll want to dance off to Spain with a glass of sangria when you hear the dramatic rhythms of Henson-Conant’s Baroque Flamenco.

Leonard Bernstein: Overture to Candide
pairs with… The Marquette

Bernstein described his operetta, Candide, as a love letter to Europe. Traverse the continent with Italian prosecco spiked with London gin boasting a French name.

Bernstein: “Make Our Garden Grow” from Candide
pairs with… The Chop Suey

The gin-based cocktail is infused and topped with all things verdant including lime, basil, cucumber and matcha-ginger foam. You don’t need a green thumb to enjoy this pairing with Bernstein’s operetta’s lush finale.

Bernstein: Music for Brass
pairs with… a Salty Dog

Dog-loving Lenny wrote odes to three pups: let’s raise a Salty Dog — the original gin ’n’ grapefruit juice — to Bima, Mippy and Lifey.

Bernstein: Selections from West Side Story
pairs with… The American

The iconic Broadway musical showcases Bernstein’s quintessential American sound. A rustic blackberry-sage simple syrup sweetens a spicy rye whiskey in The American cocktail.
