The Art of
the Infusion.

At Russian Samovar, vodka is more than a bottle behind the bar. It is a conversation between flavor, food, music, and the city outside.

Paying Attention To.

The Ritual

Make a
Moment of It.

There is no correct order—only a more interesting one. Compare a fruit-forward infusion with an herbal or savory choice. Notice how the aroma changes the first impression; follow it with a bite from the kitchen.

Russian Samovar also lists classic cocktails and martinis on its current menu. If a mixed drink is more your style, let the bartender guide you.
