Here's The Jist:

As a Drink Editor I receive a lot of requests for restaurant, bar and nightlife recommendations. So I started a blog to chronicle Chicago's social scene which eventually morphed into New York's drinking and dining scene. After years in Chicago, I'm now a full time resident of NYC, the East Village to be exact. Look forward to sharing the latest and greatest from the wine & spirits world, straight from the Big Apple.

Trick or Treat: Cocktail Style


Nothing like a little candy with your cocktail. If you're too cool for school and rather dress up than don a costume (hater...), head to C-View where they're doing a cocktail and candy pairing. The Halloween-only menu is below and all candies are original confections from C-House's Executive Pastry Chef Toni Roberts. I must admit, the cocktails sound better than the candies below (I've never been a fan of jellied anything and I think Carmel corn is the worst Halloween candy ever) but props to the fab C-View for adding some high class to candy.

P.S. I'll choose a Take 5 over any of the below, all day, any day :)

THE CONCORD
RUM / CONCORD GRAPES / FRESH MINT / LIME
* Pistachio Brittle

GINGER CIDER
CANTON GINGER-COGNAC / CALVADOS / APPLE CIDER / HONEY
* Caramel Corn

THE FLOWER
ST. GERMAINE LIQUEUR / CHOPIN VODKA / LEMON
* Fruit Jellies

HONEY DON’T
AQUA LUCA / HONEYDEW / LIME
* Sour Candied Citrus
