WHAT

La Piscine’s Sunsetchill
Record highs call for record-making beverages, and La Piscine‘s new summer drink menu includes a round of heavy-hitters sure to cool down any fiery day.

  • 1.75 oz. George Dickle Rye
  • 4.5 cups Passion fruit puree
  • 2.25 cups Sugar

WHAT

Hotel Americano’s Arriba Margarita
What was once SNOB—Hotel Americano‘s rooftop restaurant with high-expectations in New York—is now Arriba. A concept lounge for the winter, the venue extends over its predecessor’s baby blue for a sky-high joint with a downtown feel. For those missing the heat (and on a day like today, how could you not?) this ginger margarita with its host’s name is generously recommended.

HOW

Ingredients:

  • 1.75 oz. Jose Cuervo Tequila Tradicional
  • 1.75 oz. Ginger lime puree
  • 0.5 oz. Cointreau
  • Hibiscus chili

WHAT

SNOB’s 30 Day Aged Rock & Rye
You’ve heard the words “good things take time,” but never has the phrase been so teasingly appropriate as SNOB’s 30 Day Aged Rock & Rye. Straight from the newly opened rooftop restaurant atop Hotel Americano in New York City, the classic rock and rye cocktail drink gets a holiday twist with essentials spices that—after almost a month of marinating with the drink’s other goodies—perfectly balance out the rye whiskey, citrus, sugar, and bitters.

HOW

Batched ingredients (to be placed a large mason jar for 30 days)

  • 1.25 liters of Rittenhouse Rye whiskey
  • 5 oz. of Luxardo Cherry Sangue Morlacco liqueur
  • 10 oz. of pure rock candy sugar
  • 3 meyer lemons sliced in wheels
  • 3 blood oranges sliced in wheels
  • 9 cloves
  • 5 whole star anise
  • 7 all spice
  • 3 whole cinnamon sticks

THEN

To serve, pour 3.5 oz. of the recipe into a mixing glass with ice and stir for 30 seconds. Strain over rocks glass with one large ice block. Add two dashes of angostura bitters and garnish with fresh orange wheel and a maraschino cherry.
