A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! By\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by our warm, spring days, S.Y. Kitchen<\/a> Mixologist\u00a0Alberto Battaglini<\/a>\u00a0has added\u00a0five creative new cocktails to the menu, all inspired by local market produce, herbs and botanicals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Battaglini is the General Manager and resident Mixologist at S. Y. Kitchen where he creates his own infusions of spirits and bitters from a local bounty of fruits, vegetables and herbs. \u00a0\u201cThe soul of mixology is found in all the old recipes that we twist with modern ingredients and tools, in order to play with tastes to give every customer an extraordinary experience,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

His newest\u00a0cocktails include:<\/p>\n
