Relish in ‘In This Moment' Cocktails at LimaMar Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
They always say 'There's no time like the present', so why not fully enjoy the moment with a cocktail? Owner and mixologist Ross Terry shows us how to make LimaMar Restaurant and Cocktail Bar's 'In This Moment' cocktail. In This Moment 2 oz Pisco 1 oz Aguardiente 1 oz Blood Orange Juice 1 oz Strawberry Shrub 1 Charapita In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine all the ingredients minus the charapita. Take the charapita and squeeze the juice into the cocktail shaker. Drop the charapita into the shaker, and shake until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass with a big ice cube. Good Day Stateline's Spirit Day is sponsored by LimaMar Restaurant & Cocktail Bar at 221 E. State Street in downtown Rockford. LimaMar is the brainchild of owners Ross and Rosana Terry, who hoped to bring Rosana's Peruvian heritage to life in Rockford when they opened in 2019. From the rich authentic décor that you'll find on every wall inside the cozy space, to the dishes that Rosana creates in the kitchen, Peruvian culture takes center stage at LimaMar. The menu is filled with traditional Peruvian dishes like Ceviche, Conchitas and Causa, which find their roots in Japanese, Chinese and Spanish cuisine. You'll find Peruvian influences on the cocktail menu, too, with Peru's most popular alcohol, Pisco, in many of their inventive drinks. The most popular cocktail in Peru is the Piscosour, it's so popular there's an entire day devoted to celebrating it each year. LimaMar lives by the motto, 'We eat with our vision first, then comes the notes of the aroma & your palate will tell you the rest.'.
