The newly opened downtown Tribeca location of Smith & Mills Rockefeller Center cocktail program, led by Robert Krueger, Beverage Director, offers several favorites like the Martini Trio that is just as aesthetic as it is delicious and is reflective of the new space: refined yet approachable.

The trio includes Smith & Mills three Martini selections in a smaller form to create a delightful grouping of mini-tinis.

The left-most cocktail is A Smokeshow, a Martini that packs a spicy punch including Los Vecinos Mezcal, Cardenxe Sotol, Genepy, Lime Leaf Aperitif, Grapefruit Bitters, and Calabrian Chili.

The middle Martini features the Mezu-Mezu featuring Navy Strength Gin, Quinquina, and a Spanish Olive.

The right tini is Vesper Del Mar, made with Haku Vodka, Plymouth Gin, Blanc Vermouth, Fino Sherry, and a Kombu Pickled Onion.

The trio creates a perfectly balanced profile of spicy, salty, and a bit of sweetness. It continues to be a crowd pleaser as diners stop by for a quick bite or stay for a while into the late-night hours.

Stephanie Rivin embarked on her journey into the world of wine in 2008 with her employment at a quaint, family-operated winery nestled in Anderson Valley, Northern California.

The winery was so small that its tasting room shared the same space with winemaking, granting Stephanie direct access to the cellar. Day by day, her fascination with the intricacies of winemaking grew. Eager to delve deeper, she enrolled as a harvest intern under the guidance of knowledgeable mentors who taught her the rationale behind each step in the winemaking process.

Stephanie diverged from the conventional path of winemaking education via university courses. Instead, her journey consisted of hands-on learning under the mentorship of seasoned masters in the field. Stephanie’s trajectory took a turn in 2012 when she, along with her husband and their three-year-old daughter, visited Bordeaux, France for the first time and instantly fell in love with it. While Stephanie was already involved in winemaking in California, the allure of Bordeaux led her to expand her ventures by creating French Blue.

However, after juggling both California and French winemaking for a few years, the demands began to strain her work-life balance. It became evident to Stephanie where she truly wanted to be. Aware of her husband’s shared passion for Bordeaux, she proposed moving there, and he jumped at the opportunity. In 2018 Stephanie, her husband, and their children relocated to France.

With the creation of French Blue Wine, Stephanie set out to build a bridge between two worlds: America and Bordeaux.

“Bordeaux is a very traditional culture. People’s lives are steeped in winemaking, and it’s ingrained into their soul. It’s just a part of who they are. Whereas Americans, we kind of have our own way of doing things. We’re innovative, spirited, and free. With French Blue you get a bit of Bordeaux winemaking know-how, mixed with American rock and roll, anything goes. So, that’s what I wanted French Blue to be; something that speaks of both cultures and is a way for people to travel to Bordeaux from the comfort of their own homes.”

When naming French Blue, Stephanie wanted it to resonate with France’s identity.

“The color blue has always been associated with France. It was the royal color back when there was a monarchy, and now all the French national sports teams are nicknamed the ‘Blues.’ You’ve got the bright blue sky, you’ve got the blue sea, and it just encapsulates the spirit of France. Voila! – French Blue. Something easy to remember and it communicates the approachable and fun vibe to the wine.”

French Blue Wine offers a diverse selection, including Rosé, White, Red, and Sparkling Crémant. The brand prides itself on versatility, catering to various occasions. Stephanie emphasizes pairing the wine with the moment, whether it’s enjoying a casual gathering with friends or whipping up cocktails at a bar. She describes the wines as fun and accessible, making them a popular choice for enjoyable drinks.

“French Blue wines are ideal for a drawn-out lunch, a gathering of friends, or reading by the water on a hot day. It gives you the feeling of the best kind of Sunday afternoon: relaxed, bright, and cheerful.”

About Chinola® Fresh Fruit Liqueurs

After discovering the magic of the sacred Dominican passion fruit, Chinola’s journey began in 2014 with the creation of the world’s first vine to bottle fresh fruit liqueur that’s shelf stable. Chinola was born from a creative collaboration of hospitality experts, spirit industry professionals, and a multi-generational master blender. Locally referred to as chinola (chee-noh-lah), their dream was to create an old-world style liqueur that embodied the taste and aroma of fresh passion fruit. Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur has gone on to become an award winning addition to the world’s best bars and a staple in home bars.

With year over year growth, their original spirit has spawned the second jewel in their collection: Chinola Mango Liqueur. Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur and Chinola Mango Liqueur are natural, low ABV liqueurs made from 100% fresh fruit and neutral cane spirit with no artificial additives. With origins in the Samaná Peninsula, Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs are produced in the Dominican Republic with a commitment to authenticity and eco-friendly practices from farm to bottle. Chinola Passion Fruit liqueur is available in 33 states throughout the United States and 12 countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, with markets in the Caribbean and parts of Europe.

As part of our Whiskey Around the World annual content series, we bring you eight bourbons to try in your next Old Fashioned.

In the pantheon of classic cocktails, there aren’t many more beloved than the old fashioned. While the drink is traditionally made with whiskey (rye or bourbon), sugar, Angostura bitters, and a splash of water, it’s the kind of drink bartenders and mixologists enjoy experimenting with because of its versatility. Change out the Angostura bitters for some walnut bitters or add a complementary ingredient or two and you’ve taken the drink to another level.

And while experimenting with this drink is all well and good, it’s not an Old Fashioned without the whiskey. Choosing the right whiskey can make or break your drink. It’s a very alcohol-driven drink and using a lesser whiskey as its base is a quick way to ruin the whole experience.

Luckily for you, we’re in the business of cocktails. That’s why today we’re going to guarantee that your home bar cart or liquor cabinet is fully stocked with the best possible whiskeys to use as a base for a traditional Old Fashioned.

And while some drinkers prefer rye whiskey, we’re all about the bourbon. Keep scrolling to see eight of our favorite bourbons, each perfect to mix with to create a swoon-worthy, flavorful Old Fashioned you’ll want to sip with friends and family all year long.

Widow Jane 10-Year Bourbon

Widow Jane’s flagship expression is its 10-year-old bourbon. This marriage of sourced bourbons was created in Brooklyn in batches of only five barrels at a time. It’s non-chill filtered and proofed using mineral water from the nearby Rosendale Mines. It’s a great whiskey for an old fashioned because of its complex, balanced palate of maple candy, dried cherries, vanilla, toffee, and charred oak.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon

If you’re not using Wild Turkey Rare Breed as a base for your old fashioned already, what are you waiting for? This popular barrel-proof bourbon is a blend of six, eight, and twelve-year-old bourbons. It’s known for its aromas of almond cookies, honey, dried fruits, and cracked black pepper, and a palate of vanilla, candied nuts, oak, and warm, gentle spices.

Redemption High Rye Bourbon

If you aren’t using a rye whiskey for the base for your old fashioned, a nice replacement is a high-rye bourbon like Redemption High Rye Bourbon. This high-proof bourbon (92 proof) has a mash bill featuring 36% rye. The result is a complex, flavorful, spicy whiskey with notes of vanilla beans, toffee candy, oak, licorice, dried fruits, and spicy, peppery rye at the finish.

Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon

If you want to venture outside of Kentucky (even just a state away) to try a well-made, small-batch bourbon, we suggest Bib & Tucker 6-Year for your old fashioned. Matured for a minimum of six years on charred American oak barrels, this award-winning whiskey is well-known for its rich, bold nose of vanilla, dried fruits, and oak and a palate of candied pecans, butterscotch candy, vanilla beans, charred wood, and gentle wintry spices.

Still Austin Straight Bourbon

If you didn’t know it already, Texas has quietly become one of the best states for bourbon fans. And while Balcones and Garrison Brothers get all the press, Still Austin is crafting award-winning whiskeys in Austin. Its Flagship expression is Still Austin Straight Bourbon. Made with a mash bill of 70% chef-grade corn, 25% rye, and 5% barley, it’s known for its flavors of toffee, candied almonds, dried fruits, cinnamon, and light spices.

FEW Straight Bourbon

If you’re looking for a bold, high-proof bourbon to use as the base for an old fashioned, look no further than FEW Straight Bourbon. At 46.5%, this award-winning, high-rye bourbon carried a nose of dried cherries, vanilla, and oak. Sipping it reveals a symphony of sweet corn, honey, vanilla beans, charred wood, and gentle, peppery rye. It’s a younger whiskey at around four years old, but bold enough to stand up to the other old fashioned ingredients.

Woodinville Straight Bourbon

Another state that’s cranking out its fair share of award-winning bourbons is Washington. One of the best is Woodinville Straight Bourbon. This award-winning, small-batch bourbon is made with a mash bill of corn, rye, and barley, all grown at a family farm in Washington state. It’s known for its flavors of caramelized sugar, vanilla beans, dark chocolate, maple syrup, and oaky wood.

Elijah Craig Small Batch

According to some, Elijah Craig invented bourbon whiskey when the former Baptist minister decided to try aging his corn whiskey in charred oak barrels. Whether or not that story is actually true is up for debate. We do know that he has a whiskey line in his name and the flagship expression is Elijah Craig Small Batch, a bourbon known for its flavors of caramel, honey, vanilla, oak, and spices that’s well-suited for mixing into an old fashioned.
