One of my favorite places to duck into in the cold New York weather is the Lotte New York Palace Hotel. With a handful of different eateries & cocktail bars, the Palace is the perfect place to find a hidden nook & cozy up with a delicious drink!
Trouble’s Trust is a fun little underground bar that boasts a variety of incredible cocktails and I can’t wait for you to try a few of them. Here are the recipes for two of my favorites, the Ruby Kiss & Match Point. Both completely different, these cocktails are simple to make and so yummy! Ruby Kiss is tart, vibrant and not as sweet as you’d think. Match Point is a rich, spiced, smoky whiskey drink with a major kick. Enjoy!
