"For Chloe Frechette, former executive editor of Punch, it's the process, not just the final product, that makes the Search for Delicious an ideal cold-weather drink. While the recipe is quite precise (18 drops of lemon juice, six dashes of bitters and five swaths of lemon peel over a base of Cynar and Punt e Mes), it's also made of elements that many home bartenders already have in their arsenals."
"The Tea Ceremony, a warming blend of unexpected ingredients, likewise takes a routine (preparing matcha), and transforms it into something entirely new. For Punch contributor Emma Janzen, watching bartenders at in New York make the Old-Fashioned-like drink is "mesmerizing." Capped off with "a heavenly froth," the whisky-based cocktail reads like a boozy, yet light, iced matcha latte. To really channel the season, though, consider the Basque Bamboo, a drink that screams fall. Created at the now-closed Brooklyn"
Many cocktails rely on familiar components combined in novel ways to create seasonal obsessions. The Search for Delicious pairs Cynar and Punt e Mes with 18 drops of lemon juice, six dashes of bitters and five swaths of lemon peel, emphasizing precise technique and ritual. The Tea Ceremony adapts matcha into an Old-Fashioned-like whisky cocktail capped with a light, frothy finish, offering a boozy yet delicate iced-matcha character. The Basque Bamboo blends Spanish vermouth, sherry and cider into a spritzy, tart, mineral-forward drink suited to fall and the shoulder season. Thoughtful preparation elevates commonplace ingredients into memorable cold-weather drinks.
