The search for modern classic cocktails continues, emphasizing drinks with lasting appeal. Industry bartenders highlighted their current favorites, including Lust for Life, featuring mezcal, which has surged in popularity. The Second Serve, a sherry-based cocktail, offers a refreshing option, while the Don Lockwood is a staple embodying a beloved cocktail ethos. This year's selections reflect both timeless tastes and contemporary trends in mixology, suggesting that these drinks could stand the test of time alongside established favorites.
"Lust for Life is bright, it's layered, and the earthy smoke of mezcal with bright, tropical pineapple and almond make it both crowd-pleasing and memorable."
"The Second Serve is long, crisp, perfect on a late sunny afternoon, appetizing, thirst-quenching, and a gateway beverage for those new to sherry."
"The Don Lockwood exemplifies the Dutch Kills cocktail ethos and has been in heavy rotation here almost from the day that we first swung open our doors."
