Nuclear Daiquiri

Spawned in the late aughts at LAB—London’s influential high-energy, high-volume bar—this spin on a classic has had a cult following since its creation in 2005. More recently, the drink has united online cocktail enthusiasts who are in search of the best substitute for green Chartreuse, the drink’s key ingredient, which has become increasingly scarce. INGREDIENTS [...]

In Search of the Ultimate Zombie

We asked eight of America’s top bartenders to submit their finest recipe for Don the Beachcomber’s original Zombie—then blind-tasted them all to find the best of the best.   It was a top-secret recipe, and guests were only allowed two—so it’s no surprise Don the Beachcomber’s Zombie was a sensation from the moment it appeared [...]

The Unique Wine Varieties of the Cycladic Island Tinos

Cycladic island's ancient wine tradition is worth exploring, along with the new local beer Nissos making a splash. The long history of winemaking in Tinos is evidenced by archaeological findings: the Temple of Dionysus, coins from the 6th and 4th century BC depicting grapes and Dionysus. These artifacts not only reveal the existence of wine [...]

La Playa Cubana

At Donna in Brooklyn, poblano pepper offsets earthy rum, bittersweet Italian amaro, and Scandinavian fernet in this rich, herbaceous drink. “It’s meant to evoke a Cuba Libre in stirred form,” says bartender Patrick Gartner. “We recreated the sharp bite of a carbonated soda and squeeze of lime, which adds so much to the classic,” he [...]

Salt & Pepper Martini

Though unorthodox, Michael McIlroy’s Salt & Pepper Martini at Temple Bar has a little something for everyone. Its celery bitters, manzanilla sherry and saline solution elegantly address the common request for an “extra dirty” Martini, while Espelette pepper liqueur and Sweety Drop peppers answer the crowd-pleasing call for something spicy. As the Martini craze shows [...]

Mastering the Martinez

Harrison Ginsberg, bar director for New York’s SAGA, Overstory and Crown Shy, never thought the Martinez would become his signature drink. Largely considered a predecessor to the Martini, the Martinez is typically made with Old Tom gin, sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur. The classic never achieved the popularity of its successor, perhaps because of its relatively sweet profile. [...]
