Flutter Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer() doesn't work


I want to open a drawer after pushing on the custom button in BottomMenu I have trouble with Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer(), it doesn't work. My BottomMenu is a separate widget class. As I understand, it doesn't work because it's a separate context. How can I get the right context? Or perhaps someone knows another solution.

Here my code reproducer:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Drawer'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      bottomNavigationBar: BottomMenu(),
      endDrawer: SizedBox(
        width: double.infinity,
        child: Drawer(
          elevation: 16,
          child: Container(
            color: Colors.black,
            child: ListView(
              padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
              children: <Widget>[
                ListTile(
                    title: Text('Some context here',
                        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white))),
                ListTile(
                    title: Text('Some context here',
                        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white))),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            Text(
              'Call Drawer form menu reproducer',
            )
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class BottomMenu extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 15),
      child: Wrap(
        alignment: WrapAlignment.center,
        children: <Widget>[
          Divider(color: Colors.black, height: 1),
          Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 2),
            child: Row(
                mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
                mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
                children: <Widget>[
                  InkWell(
                    borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(20.0),
                    customBorder: Border.all(color: Colors.black),
                    child: Container(
                      padding: EdgeInsets.only(
                          left: 3, right: 6, bottom: 15, top: 11),
                      child: Row(
                        children: <Widget>[
                          Icon(Icons.menu),
                          Text('Show menu', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 15, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
                        ],
                      ),
                    ),
                    onTap: () {
                      Scaffold.of(context).openDrawer();
                    },
                  ),
                ],
              ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
