Matt Collett, Piatti
There’s two very different chances to try a Brandy Alexander at Piatti. Beverage Supervisor Matt Collett created a pair of wintry cocktails with unique twists. Visit the Quarry for a Wonderland, that uses a Nocino liqueur to add a depth of flavor; or visit Eilan for The Santa Clause, which pairs Kinsman with a holiday simple syrup of nutmeg, sage, orange peel, clove and star anise) in a Collins glass for a refreshing holiday cocktail.
