Cocktail Culture
Cocktails

The cocktail is enjoying VIP status these days. Mix masters with handlebar mustaches may have become the unofficial mascots of the resurgence of the craft, but the true stars are the drinks. Ingredient-driven concoctions made with the precision of a pastry chef: individually measured, fruit macerated, herbs muddled, and crystal clear ice hand-cut.

We end September with five of the most interesting recommendations from the month for places to enjoy well-made cocktails around the country.

Boston

What: DRINK (348 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02228, view map)

Why: No drink menu, you order by flavor, spirit, or mood.

Recommended By: Chef Ana Sortun (Oleana, Boston)

Brooklyn

What: WEATHER UP (589 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238, view map)

Recommended By: Pastry Chef Johnny Iuzzini (Jean Georges, New York)

Chicago

What: THE PUBLICAN (837 West Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607, view map)
