These beverages are sure to give you a one-of-a-kind taste of the Big Apple.
Blackwell’s Island Punch
What is it?
A Caribbean-inspired
libation containing cachaça, dark rum, cognac, amontillado sherry, honey, coconut milk, pineapple, and passion fruit.
Where can you get it?
The Penrose.Why should you get it?
You’ll get a big bang for your buck. These bartenders don’t pack light on the drink—or on the flavor. It’s no rooftop view, but the interior is hip and trendy. If you go on a Sunday, they have a jazz/folk band playing each week.
Gummy
What is it?
Frosé with a mixture of assorted gummy bears.
Where can you get it?
Skylark Lounge.Why should you get it?
This Instagram-worthy cocktail also comes with a beautiful and glamorous 30th-floor view of the Empire State Building. A perfect night out for friends visiting from out of town.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
What is it?
Calling all whiskey fans—this smoking signature
cocktail (literally) is crafted with Blanton's bourbon, Cocci Barolo Chinato, oloroso sherry, benedictine, and Jerry Thomas bitters in a smoky glass.
Where can you get it?
Angel’s Share.Why should you get it?
This Japenese speakeasy-style bar in the East Village is a space you won’t forget. The dim lighting and cool ambience is ideal for date night. Oh, and did we mention that this drink comes out smoking?

Your choice. Bespoke cocktails all around.
Where can you get it?
Attaboy.Why should you get it?
This low-key bar offers a menu-free environment where you get to make the drink rules. If you’re not sure what you want, ask for the Penicillin: a unique combination of ginger, juicy lemon, and Scotch.
