Minyoli’s New Martini Menu Blends Taiwanese Flavors

At Minyoli, the bar is an extension of the kitchen, and this new menu highlights that philosophy with ingredient-driven martinis that incorporate flavors found in Taiwanese cuisine. 

The program is led by mixologist Robert Donaldson who has developed a lineup of martinis designed to showcase diverse flavor profiles rooted in Taiwanese culinary tradition. The goal is to join Andersonville’s strong martini scene while bringing a fresh, globally inspired perspective.

The menu features four signature cocktails, including:

• Minyoli’s Dirty Martini (a twist on a classic that utilizes Taiwanese ingredients): choice of gin or vodka, cordia seed brine, sake, edamame and Taiwanese basil shrub, oolong tea bitters, lime
• She Sells Shallots by the Seashore (a smooth, savory experience balanced for any palate): fried shallot-infused aged Shaoxing wine, sake, Frozen Peak oolong tea, ginger and longan shrub, Taiwanese black bean soy sauce, Taiwanese black vinegar, Taiwanese basil, lime
• The Five-Flavor Cosmo (a balanced take on the fruity night time favorite, inspired by the traditional Chinese medicine concept of the five flavors): vodka, hibiscus goji tea, ginger, sour plum liqueur, hawthorn berry shrub, Taiwanese black vinegar, mandarin orange peel bitters, lime
• Bone and Basil (a spirit-forward drink that celebrates the savory bounty of Minyoli’s kitchen): tallow-infused Taiwanese kaoliang, Taiwanese basil liqueur, beef bone broth, MSG
