Make this cocktail when you need a good outlook.
Hunky Dory is a fun, hip restaurant and bar in Crown Heights, Brooklyn that’s got neighborhood charm written all over it. We checked in with the owner, Claire Sprouse, who offered up a delicious cocktail for us to make and sip on our porches / fire escapes / backyards this summer.
Better yet, Claire and Hunky Dory are also included in the phenomenal e-book Kristin Tice Studeman wrote in the wake of restaurants closing for COVID-19 called Serving New York (download now and get inspired for dinner tonight!). 100% percent of the proceeds from Serving New York go to benefit ROAR (Relief Opportunities for all Restaurants) and Robin Hood’s restaurant relief fund, providing cash assistance to NYC restaurant workers.
We can all cheers to that!
Hunky Dory’s Bright & Herbaceous ‘Outlook Good’ Cocktail:
The Ingredients:
The Directions:
Party Song? I owned a seven inch of Queen’s Radio Ga Ga when I was a little kid and it still really does the trick.
Party Dress Code? Bright patterns. They’re also great for making it impossible to see the wine that I will inevitably spill on myself.
Party Trick? I know everyone thinks they are a good DJ (they are not), but I am actually a very good DJ.
Party Cocktail? Vermouth & Soda. Slow & steady wins the race.
Late Night Snack? Anything in a tortilla.
Best Party Ever Attended? I don’t live in the past too much, but nothing will top the house parties of my early 20’s when I was living in Houston. Footprints on the ceiling type of stuff.
