Golden Ale Cocktail Recipe From Ink

By Tasting Table Staff

There aren't many heavy, boozy stirred drinks on the cocktail list at the Michael Voltaggio restaurant ink. The weight and alcoholic heat of such concoctions don't mesh well with the playful and often light food; featherweight, savory drinks like Gabriella Mlynarczyk's Michelada-style beer cocktail, which hits with a welcome jab of heat, do. The distinctive floral character, lent by a touch of St-Germain, moves the drink far from the Clamato realm. For more 2012 Best Cocktails, click here.
