What We're Drinking This Month |
Liquid Assets | The Brazilian Wax, B&J Sake Margarita…Featuring Cabana Cachaça... Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Knowing what to drink is almost as important as where you’re drinking it. And so we present Liquid Assets, the insider’s guide to the city’s best cocktails. Dude, you’ve been drinking a lot this Summer. Well, don’t stop now… Angels & Kings’ The Brazilian Wax In the spirit of cocktails with naughty names (Sex on the Beach, etc.) comes Cabana Cachaça’s signature cocktail, The Brazilian Wax. This sensual cocktail is sweet and fruity. Oh, and this version’s painless. HOW TO MAKE IT Fill a glass with crushed ice and pour in Cabana. Fill near top with pineapple juice and top with a splash of club soda and triple sec. Stir, add garnish of your choice and serve. Available at Angels & Kings, 500 East 11th St (Avenue A), (212) 254-4090, angelsandkings.com. Dune’s Bartles & Jaymes Sake Margarita Summer means trying all sorts of new things: like mixing B&J with sake and tequila for a Bartles & Jaymes Sake Margarita. Soft and approachable at first, this cocktail builds slowly, and then it hits you. HOW TO MAKE IT Shake and place in a margarita glass with lemon and lime wedge. Available at Dune Southampton, 1181 North Sea Road, Southampton, (631) 283-0808, dunesouthampton.com. Bridgehampton Polo’s Bubble’s ‘n Blue Mix a little champagne with a little Hpnotiq and voilà, Bubble’s ‘n Blue. It’s elegant and easy, just like weekends in the Hamptons. HOW TO MAKE IT Combine and serve in a chilled champagne flute. Bubble’s ‘n Blue was served all weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Bridgehampton Polo Challenge. The Spotted Pig’s Old Speckled Hen It is the balance of rich, malty undertones and fruity notes that make Old Speckled Hen a smooth beer. Then again, it could be that an ice cold OSH on a hot day is a thing of beauty. Old Speckled Hen is served at The Spotted Pig and available at gastropubs throughout NYC. |
