Co-owners Nikolas Vagenas and Nate Ulsh have created so-called “Compost Cocktails,” including the Baba Rita, which is made with the kitchen’s smoked eggplant skins infused in tequila, and the Feta Brine Martini, which features brine leftover from their whipped feta dip. Other libations that are available include the Staten Island Iced Tea, which combines eight Italian Aperitifs and house-made cola, and The John, which has been specifically curated to harmonize with the space and its food menu.
