Top 15 Drinks: The Hemingway

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:20:19 GMT

Distrito’s nod to the literary icon is a daiquiri variant that starts with tequila (in this case Hornitos) infused with chile. The citrus edge comes from grapefruit juice, and there’s a maraschino for good measure. Subtle yet fierce, the Hemingway is the standout on a cocktail menu that’s solid from top to bottom.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:20:18 GMT

Poured over a hand-chipped ice “rock” in a double old-fashioned glass, this Monk at Franklin Mortgage is the kind of refreshing, invigorating formula that’s perfect to start or end the night with, though we’re partial to Colin Shearn’s apt description: “fucking amazing.”

Grannies for Peace

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:20:16 GMT

Top 15 Drinks: James-hattan

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:20:17 GMT

The James-hattan, Jim and Kristina Burke’s riff on the classic Manhattan, is so smooth it rides down the throat like a tyke on a Slip ’n’ Slide. Dispensed from a Green-Glass jug behind the exposed brick-backed bar, whiskey infused in-house with raisins, cinnamon and orange mingles with sweet vermouth in a Boston shaker before being strained into a properly chilled martini glass.

Top 15 Drinks: Midtown Village

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:20:17 GMT

Spicy rye whiskey provides the heart. From port wine, some sweetness and tannins. Amaro, Italian vermouth and bitters, all for even more complexity. Add showmanship (flames shooting off a twist of orange zest into the drink) and the undeniable essence of orange that accompanies this display, and you’ve got an aromatic, syrupy and potent blend that will warm you at any time of year.
