The Only Three Cocktails You Need This Weekend
Weston Wells
Since Roxy Hotel took over The Tribeca Grand in 2015, its become a steady night-out spot of choice of ours. The hotel, located on the border of Soho and Tribeca, revamped the space entirely, giving it this whole luxurious modern vibe, and added in four new venues while they were at it, one of which being The Django. Think of it as a little jazz bar with Parisian vibes, only located in the cellar and complete with brick walls and vaulted ceilings. The drinks are never not flowing, and rightfully so, because theyre so painfully delicious it’s almost a problem. We discovered this firsthand one Wednesday afternoon (if you couldnt tell, we’re firm believers in the saying It’s 5 o’clock somewhere) and have been gushing about the beverages since to anyone who will listen. We figured it was only right to get our hands on the recipes for our three favorite cocktails that The Django offers, so that you, too, can experience the magic of them. Luckily, Maxwell Britten, Djangos award-winning bar director, was happy to share his secrets with us. Happy mixing!
