16 Best Old Fashioned Cocktails to Drink in NYC | Eater

"A newer addition to the Lower East Side, Honeybee’s is likely like nothing you’ve experienced in Manhattan. A saloon? With plant-based barbecue? And a “golden cabinet” program with hard-to-find whiskeys? There’s no better place to stop in for an Old Fashioned and a bite of vegetarian “burnt brisket ends,” made with seitan and a mushroom blend. Owner Ravi Derossi and beverage director Sother Teague have many tricks up their sleeves when it comes to the brown spirits, too. The cocktail menu focuses mainly on rye and bourbon, which means an Old Fashioned is a must. But the Elijah Craig cocktails are equally intriguing, like the New Boots variation of the Old Fashioned — it’s made with Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon, Amaro Ciocaro, cherry bark vanilla bitters, and Memphis BBQ bitters. A boozy Cherry Coke with a hint of smoke might be the best way to describe it." - Vox Creative
