Eastern Standard Cocktails

Notes from my exploration of eastern standard’s cocktail menu:

Old Cuban: reminds me of a mojito + champagne - it’s very tasty.

Periodista: “rum for the intrepid reporter” - a little more than simply a mojito in a cocktail glass (with delicious ice crystals), the periodista is a citrusy drink with a delicate bubbly aftertaste.

Aviation: “Fasten Your Seatbelts” - looks like a blizzard in a cocktail glass over Rudolph’s frozen nose. It presents a mysteriously sweet (but not sugary) taste, hints of sasafras, or some cousin of mint, or even coconut, ending with a ginny dryness.
