Trademark Taste + Grind’s Hibisco Disco

“Cherry and hibiscus syrup and orange blossom water make this drink the perfect Pride pounder,” Trademark Taste + Grind’s head bartender Richard Walters told Newsweek. Meanwhile, Mezcal gives the drink that extra kick of something smoky and special. Folks can get the drink at the New York City bar or make it at home. The drink calls for 2 ounces of Ilegal Mezcal, three-quarter-ounce of cherry hibiscus syrup, three-quarter-ounce of lime juice and a spritz of orange blossom water.

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake, then strain into a Nick & Nora glass. Decorate with edible flowers and glitter.

The restaurant is just through the entrance of INNSIDE by Meliá New York and is home to a stunning, laid back open terrace that acts as a sun trap during the spring and summer. The open back terrace of the split level venue acts as an oasis of greenery and light in the middle of New York City. Inspired by the fabled relationship between a seasoned fisherman and his beloved bulldog, The Wilson celebrates true camaraderie – the camaraderie of food and drink, New Yorkers and visitors, family and friends.

Spencer Elliott, head bartender at The Boogie Room in New York City

The house that Richard Hennessey built is where my cognac desires live. Drenched in history, there is more time, effort, and dedication put into a bottle of Hennessey than most brown spirits combined. The Hennessey Black is my go-to, while not readily available at most bars this affordable bottle is a lighter, more mixable version than that of the VS (Very Special) and without having to spring for the costly VSOP (Very Special Old Pale) this bottle makes for sipping or mixing joy.
