“JAMES NORTONfood and beverage supervisor, Peppers Kings Square Hotel

This drink is all about the entertainment and the experience you provide the guests. Smoking the cocktail with fresh wood chips has to be my favorite part of making the drink—very rarely do bars prepare smoked cocktails that are poured tableside in front of guests.

The drink is excellent in a glass with a little opulence (gold dust). Named for the year to come!“ “MIKE ROSALYGM of the Living Room cocktail lounge at W New York Times Square
