"The new nonalcoholic drinks at Brush Sushi (and offered as a zero-proof pairing at O by Brush, the restaurant’s Michelin-starred omakase experience) may be some of the best savory NA drinks in the city. Bar manager Alexa Adcock created the cocktails with dense umami notes in mind — the Dark Cherry with black truffle, cherry, and yuzu is a treat paired with spicy tuna. The Summer Garden with strawberry, bay leaves, tomato, and vanilla is a sipper on its own. And lastly, the Side Salad with green tomato, walnut, and paprika is a zesty offering that’ll pair well with any sushi or nigiri. Think of the drinks as vibrant palate cleansers, much like pickled ginger. Adcock should bottle these. —Henna Bakshi" - Laura Scholz
