Creative Margarita
Red
Bar
339 East 75th Street
212-472-7577
The Rubyrita: Fresh blood-orange juice is added to Sauza
Conmemorativo, lime, Cointreau, and a homemade simple
syrup for extra zest.

Bubble yum:
Lutece's passionfruit-infused champagne cocktail.

Martini
Town
15 West 56th Street
212-582-4445
Try this version — made with Hendrick's gin and cucumbers
and topped with Malden sea salt — and you'll never go
back to olives. It's stirred with ice for an extra boost
of viscosity.

Coffee Drink
Eugene
27 West 24th Street
212-462-0999
Skip dessert and indulge in a Montecristo instead. It's
a warm mixture of coffee, Kahlua, and Grand Marnier with
a splash of triple sec and a hit of fresh whipped cream.

Mojito
Pop
127 Fourth Avenue
212-767-1800
Too often, this Cuban drink tastes like 7Up, but Pop's
rich, not-too-sweet version is the perfectly crisp conjunction
of Bacardi Limon, Gosling's Black Seal rum, fresh lime
juice, and crushed mint.

Champagne
Cocktail
Lutece
249 East 50th Street
212-752-2225
We'd expect nothing less elegant from the new Lutece than
Veuve Clicquot with red passion fruit, lemon, and cranberry
juices; a dash of cognac; and a garnish of fresh mint
and raspberry.

Island Drink
Dylan
Prime
62 Laight Street
212-334-4783
The St. Croix Cocktail is like liquid sorbet. The danger
of this rich frosty mix of banana, cruzan, rum, strawberry
puree, and pineapple juice is that it's so delicious you
might drink too many.
