The Daily Making Bottled Drinks Built For Two

By James Mulcahy

The Daily, located in the former Monday Room space adjacent to Public, has some interesting things going on in the drinks department thanks to cocktail director Naren Young, who has also been developing buzz in cocktail-centric circles thanks to his work at Saxon and Parole. When we stopped by for a visit the other day we noticed something we've never seen before: bottled cocktails for two.

The beverage, which rotates daily in accordance with the lounge's theme, differs from the cocktails popping up in barrels in that it's not aged. The beverages are bottled daily (with the date written on a piece of masking tape) and sealed with a cute branded sticker. During our visit, the offering was a drink dubbed The Adonis, a mix of dry vermouth, dry sherry and citrus bitters. Although the bottle doesn't necessarily add to the flavor, it sure does look cool and, if you're in a rush, is anyone really gonna say anything if you nab this and stick it in your coat pocket?
