This tropical tackle the New York Bitter is ideal for pampering the whiskey-loving mother(s) in your life this Mom’s Day. Created by Nicu Balan, bartender at Wolfe’s Den in New York Metropolis, The Bitter Rose is creamy, foamy, and refreshing.
Bourbon lends notes of light spice and honey, whereas the tannins from the wine stop the candy banana and orange from overpowering the drink. The end is easy and crisp with hints of recent citrus. As a bonus, you doubtless have many of the substances readily available, making it straightforward to whip up and revel in with brunch or any time of day.
