Can you help me name a cocktail? I'm looking for suggestions for a cocktail that was created recently. In many ways it is similar to several other recipes, but as far as I can tell it is unique enough to need a name.A few weeks ago I was sitting at the bar at Bookmarks, the rooftop bar/patio/lounge in the Library Hotel near Grand Central Station in NYC. I was chatting to The Cocktail Guru, Jonathan Pogash as he ran back and forth mixing around a dozen of more drinks a minute for the eager crowds of Friday post-work partiers. Jonathan Pogash is a VIP in the cocktail world where he consults, is the Director of Cocktail Development for Hospitality Holdings, who own and operate some of the most prestigious cocktail bars in NYC, such as The Campbell Apartment, The Carnegie Club, Bookmarks Lounge, and The World Bar. He also assists Gary Regan of Ardent Spirits, the famed writer and cocktailian. Several days a week Jonathan can be found behind the bar at The World Bar and Bookmarks where he makes a mean cocktail; either classic / traditional or new ones he personally designs.
I had tried some of each of his new cocktail creations; and his versions of the old, traditional drinks; when I had a whim to ask for something to be custom made for me. I wanted something traditional in taste, but with a tasty twist. I wanted the flavor of whiskey deep and complex; with hints of sweet, bitter, and fruit. A drink I could sip on for a long time where each one was better than the last.
