NY CRAFT COCKTAIL TOUR: Holiday Spirits

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NY Craft Cocktail Tour explores the craft cocktail culture of New York from local distilleries to specialty spirit shops to amazing cocktail bars and speakeasies. 

Last week, I got to board the Hornblower Infinity cruise ship for a taste of the best local spirits in New York courtesy of Village Voice. It was a fun and intoxicating event as over 25 distillers poured tastes of their products and also slipped them into some interesting cocktails. There was gin, bourbon, a fig spirit, vermouth, coffee rums, you name it. Mark your calendar now for next year’s event.
