 Summer Rain Cocktail |  D'USSE Dessert |  FIDI Cocktail |
For many of us work mode takes on full effect with the start of Mondays and so does the rush to get home. But, W Hotel New York-Downtown's The Living Room Bar and Terrace shows us the best part about Tuesday’s, with SUNSET SWITCH OFF ... and three cocktail driven reasons why you'll want to stick around after hours by the the river in the city!
"Our living room is your living room" at the W Hotels worldwide and Girls On Grub couldn't feel any more at home! Five stories up, in the center of the Financial District, we sat down with W Hotel's Food Manager, Edwin Porras, to sip on a bubbly fruit concoction that will have your taste buds zinging in the rain and a bittersweet mix that will have you toasting to your work life!
Created by one of the best Mixologist in the world, Eben Klemm's SUMMER RAIN is the summer time favorite for hustling and bustling professionals who want to loosen up after long hours spent at the office. The fruity floral flavors of the Gruet Brut Sparkling Rose and Lillet Rose were enough to sweep me off to paradise amidst thrilling views of the city. Garnished with delicious strawberries on top, I finally experienced the sweet taste of victory, and after a five AM start to my day, this drink was the just bubbly boost I needed.

Next on the menu was W New York-Downtown's most interesting drink, called FIDI! (short for Financial District). And boy did I have fun letting this one roll off the tongue. With the crisp taste of celery bitters and natural sugars from maple syrup...an orange peel added the magic touch to this tequila aperitif. FIDI is the perfect cocktail to take you from day to night without lifting a finger. No need to bar hop because W hotel’s, Living Room Bar & Terrace is all about "whatever...whenever." Using the finest quality ingredients, W New York- Downtown prides itself on getting the customer whatever he wants whenever he wants it! Tequila of choice for this signature drink: DON JULIO Reposado! One of my favorite tequila brands! A warm silky finish, with aromas of lemon citrus and elegant tastes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon...Reposado is the spirit of smooth barrel-aged tequila!
For dessert, and yes I said dessert! I was completely smitten by W New York-Downtown's unique, homemade, cognac-infused ice cream! This creamy confection is a smooth blend of Mikey Likes It, handcrafted vanilla ice cream and D’Usse VSOP Cognac. If you're a sweet tooth type of foodie like me...then you know this was the absolute icing on top for Girls On Grub ...a surprise invite to try out this one-of-a-kind ice cream delight! But we won’t take too much credit for overly enjoying this frozen treat! Big thanks to ambassador, Hip Hip Mogul, Jay-Z…the legendary rhymer and W Hotels have teamed up to present to you the ultimate sweet course: D’USSE DE LECHE!!
By the end of the evening I was a happy camper, stuffed, and filled with love…ready to kick back and relish in the unplugged performance of CITY OF THE SUN!
