For one day in Fishtown, you can drink a hoagie. Sandwich maker\u00a0Liberty Kitchen is hosting a pop-up on Oct. 25 with spirit maker Art in the Age, which as created a hoagie martini for the event.<\/p>\n
The pop-up takes place from 12-5 p.m. at Liberty Kitchen’s Fishtown location, 1400 N. Front St. The specialty cocktail costs $13.<\/p>\n
The savory drink is made with Art in the Age’s vodka fat-washed in genoa salami combined with Cinzano vermouth and is finished with a few drops of olive oil. It’s served with a skewered slice of Liberty Kitchen’s\u00a0Italian Salumeria hoagie, made with cured Italian meats toppd with creamy balsamic, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion and spicy pepper relish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, the business said it has searched for a sandwich shop to bring the drink to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n Art in the Age, which had a store and tasting room in Old City<\/a>\u00a0until August 2023, has a reputation for mixing unusual cocktails. Two years ago, it hosted a pop-up with Morris Animal Refuge serving\u00a0Weenie Martinis<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a concoction of potato vodka, tomato-infused vermouth and pickle brine, topped with tomato, a mini gherkin and a hot dog slice. Founder\u00a0Steven Grasse also created crab-infused\u00a0whiskey<\/a>, which nabbed him a\u00a0Drinks Innovator of the Year award<\/a> from Food & Wine in 2023.<\/p>\n
