No, this week’s cocktail isn’t dedicated to the legendary Queens MC (although he deserves one). It does, however, push the boundaries of a “mixed drink” to the extreme.
Created by Harry Parr, co-founder of London’s Bompas & Parr, each ingredient begins with a different letter of the alphabet from A-Z. Now following four days of taste testing, the A-Z Cocktail includes eight rums, seven liqueurs, three cognacs, three types of bitters, one vermouth, one mezcal, one gin, one cachaca, and one aperitif.
Available on menu at W New York – Times Square’s Living Room bar and complimentary in the minibars of the hotel’s Extreme Wow and Wow Suites.
