Whereas the Yas Marina Grand Prix Circuit could sound prefer it was named by an excited teenager, the Abu Dhabi island that’s dwelling to the ultimate System 1 race of the 2024 season has an etymology rooted within the Arabic Bani Yas tribe that when occupied the isle. Regardless of two prolonged straights, the 16-turn, 5.2-kilometer circuit isn’t typically a driver favourite — the format results in gradual laps, with drivers on the throttle for under 63 p.c of the time. 

However the race has two issues going for it: a hotly contested Constructor’s Championship title within the steadiness, and — given the comparatively doddering tempo — a possibility to sip one thing pleasing throughout 58 laps.

We have got three cocktails impressed by the Yas Marina circuit, together with a non-alcoholic model in case it is too early within the day, otherwise you’re simply taking it straightforward.

We selected to concentrate on the surroundings, although, with the Sundown Rose. This mezcal-based highball riff makes use of the sublimely scrumptious Q Mixers Hibiscus Ginger Beer, giving the beverage a beautiful shade of shiny plum — and a lightweight, floral, tangy tingle, rounded out by the earthy notes from the mezcal.

Yas Marina is rife with mega yachts, five-star inns, and all the opposite billionaire facilities the Emirate is understood for. Thus the Gilded Pole, an elevated play on the Rusty Nail (whiskey and Drambuie), appears nicely suited. Right here, bourbon replaces the everyday single malt whiskey or blended scotch. If it is obtainable, Russell’s Reserve single barrel choose, which clocks in at 110 proof, gives ample punch with out overshadowing the honey and spice notes the Drambuie brings to the desk.

A lemon peel for garnish, expressed (squeezed and twisted) into the drink earlier than to dropping it in, presents somewhat tartness. Or herald some bitters to nudge issues in numerous instructions: citrus bitters for tang, chili bitters for warmth, black walnut bitters for richness, or grapefruit bitters for a pleasant zing.

Components:

1.5 ounces bourbon (100-proof or increased)
.75 ounces Drambuie
Lemon peel for garnish
Two dashes bitters, non-compulsory

Mocktails are widespread — and more and more fashionable around the globe, UAE or in any other case — so the Yas Rojita is an drink that can allow you to sip with out arduous stuff. To remain on-theme, it is constructed round Almave, Lewis Hamilton’s non-alcoholic spirit constructed from distilled agave. That mentioned, it is fairly tasty, NA or in any other case, so be happy to make it a low-alcohol drink by subbing out half the Almave for any blanco tequila.

Components:

1.5 ounces Almave Blanco
1 ounce blood orange juice
