Check out this umami take on the  Bloody Mary .  Truly encapsulating the essence of brunch—the Bloody Mary is a timeless fan-favorite.   At Chef Mike Price’s newest West Village concept,  The Mary Lane , the beverage team led by Beverage Director Lisa Komara approaches drink creation from multi-faceted angles in order to make imaginative spins on classics.    Their version of the Bloody Mary, called Something About Mary, includes the traditionality of vodka but with kimchi (sourced by Chef de Cuisine Andrew Sutin) and lime.    As a complement to the vegetable-driven menu and seasonal fare, their goal was to focus on the probiotic nature of kimchi—the beautiful, fermented Korean staple that adds even more depth to the cocktail.      “ Since we’re focused on seasonal fare, including highlighting the healthy aspects of cuisine, we really wanted to focus on the probiotic nature of kimchi t...

Winter is here although it may not exactly feel like it. We’re switching our t-shirts for sweaters, tomatoes for squash, and  Negroni  for  Boulevardiers .     Wait, what’s that you say? Where is Negroni going? Don’t panic. A Negroni’s bittersweet love isn’t going anywhere. But, what  is  going away are the warm temperatures, for most of us in the Northern Hemisphere.      And cold weather inclines us to drink, well, more like a lumberjack. We crave beverages that are bold and deep, that warm our soul with seductive spices. You know, drinks that make you feel like you’re snuggled up in a blanket, nestled up by a fireplace somewhere in a magically snowy wonderland.     The Boulevardier  embodies all of that. It’s arguably the mysterious and sexy cousin to the Negroni. The Boulevardier has all the same ingredients as its Italian relative, except it features whiskey rather than gin. Many say bourb...

In the limelight this week is quince syrup as our spotlight ingredient       Charleston, South Carolina’s  HERD Provisions , beverage director Jules created  the Green Cabin cocktail using Laird’s Applejack, Amaro Sfumato, Dolin Rouge and a house made quince syrup. The real attention grabber is a piping of sandalwood smoke which lends a delicate, woodsy aroma. The cocktail is a creative play on the ever-so-classic Black Manhattan and a perfect wintery cocktail.     The Applejack was the obvious choice for a base liquor. Schneider describes it as, “walking a fine line between being a delicate apple Brandy, but with enough bite to substitute in a classic whisky drink. There is no alcohol in existence more American than apple brandy.” The “oddball” in the cocktail is the inclusion of Amaro Sfumato, which Schneider says is a well-rounded smoky, earthy, and indescribably unctuous spirit ...
