  • Booze You Can Use: Whisky and Women Unite!

    Lupecwhisky

    Mark your calendars! On March 8th, Compass Box and the New York Chapter of LUPEC (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails) are joining forces for the third annual Whisky and Women Unite, a cocktail party benefitting Bottomless Closet. The first one started as a piggyback on the tweetups I had been doing, and it was such a great success that they did a second event last year.

    This year, Lani Kai hosts the fête, and LUPEC members Meaghan Dorman, Lynnette Marrero, Abigail Gullo, Eryn Reece Karin Stanley, and hostess Julie Reiner will create cocktails for the event featuring the newest relase from Compass Box, Great King Street – Artist’s Blend.  The cocktails will be $8, and a portion of the proceeds will go to Bottomless Closet, which helps disadvantaged NYC women become self-sufficient through comprehensive programming and support.

    March 8th, 6-8 p.m., Lani Kai, 525 Broome Street between Thompson and Sullivan. See you there!!

  • Booze You Can Use

    Troysdrink
    First of all, head to the Counting Room to check out their new cocktail menu (starts tomorrow), including this beauty.  It's called Look Both Ways, and it's Tanqueray gin, lime, Chartreuse, and a float of Cote de Rhone. Sounds odd, but tastes amazing.

    Second of all, a big mazel to Abigail Gullo and Karen Fu for their success at the 42 Below vodka Cocktail World Cup ‘Carnival of the Cocktail.’  Their recipes are below.
