"While waiting to find a culinary revelation in Boston this season, I’ve turned to a liquid diet for interesting flavor pairings. At the Central Square outpost of Shōjō, the artsy Asian eatery from Brian Moy, the Journey to the West perfectly pairs savory flavors with the warm comfort of an Old Fashioned. Sesame-infused rye and Sichuan peppercorns lend an earthy spice to the smoky notes of barrel-aged Havana and Hyde bitters. The result is a dynamic and almost dangerously drinkable cocktail." - Erika Adams
