Shaken and stirred, Continental Midtown has revamped its cocktail experience with 15 new libations on the menu.
Philadelphia’s Continental Midtown, a gem in Starr Restaurants’ crown, has always been a destination for cocktail enthusiasts. This week, it’s elevating its game, introducing an exciting new cocktail menu in partnership with Unfiltered Hospitality, the geniuses behind Miami’s best cocktail scenes. The revamped Continental Midtown Cocktail menu is set to redefine martini culture with modern flair and playful presentations, offering a fresh twist on the retro cocktail experience.
Spread over three floors, Continental Midtown offers a unique vibe, whether you’re lounging, dining, or enjoying the rooftop view. The menu is a kaleidoscope of flavors, featuring bold dishes like Shrimp Pad Thai and Szechuan Shoestring Fries alongside whimsical creations like Cheesesteak Eggrolls and French Onion Soup Dumplings. The cocktail menu has always been a standout, and with this revamp, it promises to be an even more memorable part of the Continental experience.
The new era of the Continental Midtown is marked by an array of nine new martinis and six innovative takes on classic cocktails. Each drink is a journey of senses, blending unexpected flavors with stunning visuals. For instance, the Cosmo Spacely, a clear, tableside-shaken reinterpretation of the traditional Cosmopolitan, delivers the classic taste with a lighter touch.
Not to be missed is the Smellin’ Melons, a modern highball with a twist featuring a unique melon and shishito pepper shrub, making it a standout on the highball menu. Meanwhile, the French Kiss reimagines the French martini, swapping vodka for gin and introducing exotic flavors like Pandan Elixir.
A pivotal challenge for the team was reimagining the beloved Astronaut cocktail. The result? A dazzling creation featuring “Stratospheric Sherbert” and Electric Dust, transforming the original while keeping its spirit intact.
Stephen Starr, the visionary behind the restaurant, emphasizes the pursuit of innovation and setting trends in the culinary world. This new cocktail menu, featuring creations like the Frozen Appletini and the El Chapo Fizz, is a testament to this philosophy, offering guests an unparalleled cocktail experience.
With this exciting new Continental Midtown cocktail menu, the venue reaffirms its status as a trendsetter in Philadelphia’s culinary scene, promising guests an adventure in taste, style, and refreshment.
