One of our favorite challenges is creating organic cocktails for all of our fun events. It takes a lot of research, experimentation, and taste-testing (the best part of the job, clearly). Case in point: for our dinner to celebrate the opening of Chrissie Miller's 143 Ludlow at Pulqueria Friday night, we knew we had to do something special. The new store is already one of our favorite shopping destinations, and let's be honest – there are few families cooler than the Millers.
Since we were so excited to hear that Chrissie's mom, Susan (the guru behind AstrologyZone) would be there to fête her daughter alongside us, we created cocktails based on the elements as an homage to Susan's astrology know-how. The results? Four delicious cocktails perfect for everyone, regardless of your star sign. Be sure to try them out at home; it's pretty much written in the stars that you'll enjoy.
