Barrelhouse Fizz

To beckon the long awaited Spring, mixologist Charles Hardwick has created a new line of cocktails for Blue Owl Cocktail Room in the East Village, New York.  As Mother Nature continues to send her ever flip-flopping weather patterns our way, Hardwick’s “Barrelhouse Fizz,” transports us to balmier days. This refreshing cocktail tastes like raspberries warmed by the summer sun and is perfect whether you’re sipping it poolside or just wishing that you were.
