Last night I dined with my friend Sarah at the bar at Minetta Tavern. We each started with a cocktail — Sarah a Manhattan, and I The Last Word. Although I often trend towards brown spirits in the colder weather, for some reason, the combination of gin, lime, green Chartreuse and Maraschino hit the spot last night — refreshing, calming after a busy day, and a light prelude to our dinner.
