ockey Hollow is finalizing
the spring cocktail list with a
whimsical drink labeled: "Doctor
Doctor!" Headlining gin as
the base spirit, the drink is elevated
to astronomical levels by a carrot
and turmeric syrup that produces a
luminous orange hue. Close behind
the orange and turmeric is a smidge of
Mathilde Peche, lemon, and a much-
needed mist of Laphroaig 10—which
is high in smoke and peat flavors.
is drink is both intensely flavored,
and easy-drinking. A cheerful micro
carrot finishes the drink as a garnish
and offers a sophisticated yet juvenile
feeling that is anything but uninvited.
Even aer the cinnamon-scented
smoke faded from the room,
springtime stuck around for the few
hours that I spent at the Vail Bar. Drink
aer drink I was reminded of the
strides that the cocktail scene has taken
in New Jersey, and how bartenders like
Coklyat are providing us with security
that it can only go up from here.
