The best way to avoid New York’s refridgerator-winter weather is cozying up at a chic hotel bar without any intent to ever leave. The Lexington Hotel’s The Stayton Room is the ideal destination to go for a craft cocktail and stay for five while parading down the extensive menu set in place by the food and beverage director Frank Caiafa. There you’ll find new takes on classic cocktails including a yummy old fashioned and a negroni with a glacial spin, and also newly cooked up options. We’ve settled to share the Godfrey, a rich and beautifully warm option for the chilly days–

Marrying summer and fall, this whisky cocktail is a fresh iteration of caramel tones, apples, and a bit of the tropical fruit from the new Dewar’s 8-year-old Caribbean Smooth. The blended Scotch-whisky is the newest introduction from the awarded spirit. Hand-in-hand with the launch of the bottles, the Coconut Highball recipe serves as an alternative for a neat or on-the-rocks traditional whisky routine spicing it up with a taller glass and additional ingredients.  Slainte!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ part Caribbean Smooth
  • ½ part Lemon juice
  • ½ part Coconut Syrup
  • 3 parts Soda Water

It's Been A Long Week

As gin makes its rounds stateside more and more, we’ve seen several “healthy” cocktail options as well. This option with kombucha, honey, turmeric, and lemon juice seems like the perfect antioxidant mix or cold remedy. The freshness of the gin truly juxtaposes the zest and spice in the rest of the ingredients leveraging a well-balanced cocktail. Easy to repeat at home, as one more or less has all the ingredients readily available, Bee Well will have you sauntering in the sun on Sunday afternoons.

 

Ingredients:  

  •  2oz The Botanist Gin
  •  4oz Ginger Kombucha
  • .5oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • .25oz Honey
  •  ¼ teaspoon Turmeric

 

Ingredient (3)

Method: 

  • Add The Botanist Gin, Fresh Lemon Juice, Honey and Turmeric into a shaker.
  • Add ice and shake.
  • Strain over ice in a Rocks glass.
  • Garnish with a Fresh Lemon Peel.
