The leaves are starting to change, there’s a slight chill in the air and Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere. Summer is officially over, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t relax and enjoy a few drinks. Taking inspiration from all things autumn, Chazz: A Bronx Original has created six new handcrafted cocktails to help curb your end-of-summer blues.
- Spiced Plum Soda- A fall twist on a summer smashed cocktail. A slice of fresh, juicy plum is muddled with homemade, spiced plum syrup. Imported rum adds a sweet, toasty note and soda adds the necessary whimsicality for a surprisingly refreshing and dangerously drinkable cocktail. $9
- La Pera -Pear Cocktail- Bold, refreshing… the unmistakable burst of fresh fruit in our pear cocktail is due to our fresh pear purée, combined with pear vodka and accented by St. Germain, adding an elegant and fragrant hint of elderflower. $11
- La Mela - Fall Apple Martini- Few things bring autumn to mind as vibrantly or as deliciously as apples. Fresh, local apple cider is combined with vodka in the perfect balance to create a simple, crisp and delightful reminder of the fall harvest. $11
- The Rusty Nail- New York’s famous ‘21 Club’ christened this cocktail the “rusty nail” in the 1930s. Scotch on the rocks is laced with the lingering, aromatic flavor of honey thanks to Drambuie - a combination of Scotch blends and heather honey. To add balance to this classic, we add a dash of Fernet Branca, introducing the faintest hint of spicy notes. A cozy, fireside cocktail. $11
- The Classic Sidecar- In the 1920s, the Sidecar became a signature drink for the Hemmingway expat crowd in postwar Paris, who enjoyed its harmonious combination of cognac, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and Cointreau. Our Sidecar hits all the right notes, with its neatly sugarcoated rim, pale opacity, and a tartness that makes it impossible to tell where the lemon lets off and the Cointreau begins. $12
- Hot Toddy- The perfect constitutional to ward off the chill of the season. We blend warm, homemade fall spice tea with Buillet bourbon, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a splash of Averna for balance. $9
“At Chazz, we only use fruit juices that were squeezed that day, premium liquors and housemade mixers to create our distinctive cocktails,” said Sergio Vitale, Chef/Co-Owner. “When crafting our new drinks, we took inspiration from the sights, smells and tastes of the season, and made sure they paired perfectly with our coal-fired pizza, homemade pasta and other Italian-American specialties.”
Chazz: A Bronx Original has happy hour specials five days a week from 4-7 p.m., including $5 handcrafted cocktails, ½ price wine and draught beers, and a $5 food menu.
