Prior to the new menu's debut, #showmetheway bellied up to the in-progress 'test bar'...
The first craft cocktail served at the taste-testing was presented with such sophistication, I felt a refreshing change of mind to my usual approach of an after-hours indulgence. My long-time foodie and coffee bon vivant was awakened and fully tuned into the cocktail creation. After a quick stir and strain, the sunshine-colored liquid of The Brooklyn, one of the new whiskey cocktails, neatly poured into a chilled rocks
glass. My tasting straw was poised and ready for the first tiny sip, but it wasn't quite ready yet... a simple slice of orange garnish
was twisted and flamed with a showy shower of sparks and a rejuvenating
citrus orange oil scent. Fire & Bourbon?! I was instantly hooked! With my first sip, I felt my palate tuning in to the distinct drink subtleties, it combined the elements of
sweet, strong, citrus & sexy - an
empire state of mind. Savoring it while relaxing in the warm sun of the afternoon patio would be just as easy as sipping it inside the cool, sultry late night club scene. Each cocktail I sampled was equally as unique: ranging from subtle bourbon complexities, to a distinct fruity fizz, a cleansing cucumber, to a granular sweet ginger. Even the classics on this menu were completely re-invented and created with the finest attention to detail.

Whiskey Bar's new cocktail menu will give you plenty of reasons to step out of your cocktail comfort zone and imbibe on a whole new level of tasting pleasure!
