Welcome to the Friday Happy Hour, your single drink primer for the weekend.
There aren’t a ton of holiday specific drinks out there, and pretty much the only ones that do exist are Christmas drinks. POV at the W Hotel has stepped in to remedy this with their new Easter themed cocktail, the “Peep of View.” It’s a concoction of vodka, grapefruit juice, cranberry, and St. Germaine, topped off with champagne and garnished by a Peep. As you can imagine, it’s sweet and fruity and drinking it was a severe test of my masculine security. As over the top as a Peep garnished cocktail sounds, it’s an altogether pleasant drink. House squeezed juices give it a freshness that pairs perfectly with open air on the rooftop at POV. Not to mention that food and beverage director Robert Sabin wouldn’t let anything pass from his shop that wasn’t well constructed. He even took into account how the marshmallow from Peep garnish would affect the flavor of the drink. This weekend, consider the season. Have your self a Peep of View at the W (but remember to get a reservation before you go). Happy Easter!
