The good ol’ American burger has come a long way since the 20th century, need confirmation? Check out FLIP Burger Boutique in Atlanta. Flip Burger has taken the classic American burger and upgraded the ground meat patty between two slices of bread into a fine-dining experience. From their lamburger (strauss lamb, feta cheese, marinated vegetables, arugula, pickled red onion, feta cheese, tzaziki, and garram masala spices) to their raw steak tartare, they have burgers you’ve never even dreamed of. But, let’s table the burger discussion and talk about their impressive drink menu that 21+ ATLiens can enjoy. Of course, they serve beer, red and white wine but their specialty cocktail menu is the route to go.
I’ve tried, rather devoured, their cucumber martini. Available only at the Buckhead location, the ingredients sounded refreshing and I needed a cool one ’cause it was hotter than Hades, so I ordered it. My drink came out smoking — literally. FLIP Burger also tops some of their off drinks with liquid nitrogen. Very flipping cool. This not too sweet and not too bitter cocktail is a mixture of cucumber-infused vodka, lemon juice, fresh cucumber juice and simple syrup. Next time you need a reason to swing over to Buckhead, try one. Get a smoking cocktail or a fancy burger. Visit their site for additional locations and to view their full menu.
