The Winter Cocktail War

Iron Chef–style takedowns go boozy with the winter edition of this seasonal bartending competition. Cast a vote for your favorite drink as local bartenders like Nick Sanni (the Back Room) and Chris Miano (Le Bain) kick off the Friday series, which culminates after seven bouts in the crowning of a Winter Cocktail War Champion. Each guest can sample five of the competitors’ entered cocktails, plus two full tipples. Along with sipping and judging, guests can nibble on passed hors d’oeuvres from Little Town NY. Stick around afterward for the Terrace’s after-hours roof-deck shindig—don’t worry, it’s heated and enclosed via a retractable dome roof. Admission is complimentary with a Cocktail War ticket.
