Yesterday, we brought you five of our favorite tested-and-approved recipes from the past year. Today, a little liquid culture for end-of-the-year imbibing:
Cactus Old-Fashioned: Take a cue from the inventive bartenders at Nolita hot spot Rubirosa and stir together this smoky take on the Old-Fashioned, which employs both rye and mezcal.
Screaming Greenie: Ignore the weather, pull out your blender and give this vodka-and-absinthe-loaded slushie a spin.
The World's End: Royal Rose syrups, which come in a range of flavors–from raspberry to cardamom-clove–make all of our cocktailing easier. Try the cardamom-clove syrup in this spicy white-rum daiquiri.
