American Whiskey Newark

16 Best Old Fashioned Cocktails to Drink in NYC | Eater

"You pretty much know what you’re getting into with a name like American Whiskey, and there aren’t many surprises here — wall-mounted bison and deer heads excluded. The wood-paneled interior is warm and cozy and the whiskey list is almost as long as the bar, with several tasting flights on offer. The cocktail menu consists of more creative drinks, like the cocktail special Strike Me Dead: an Old Fashioned variation with Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon, with vanilla, pink peppercorn syrup, pecan bitters (which take two months to make in house). Then again, you also won’t go wrong with a classic Old Fashioned, made with Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon, angostura bitters, and simple syrup, chilled over big rock ice cube and garnished with a lemon and orange peel. Snacks like smoked wings and fried cheddar cheese curds are the perfect complement to the booze." - Vox Creative
