With Spring making its grand entrance into our world this week (although it still feels like winter), we are embracing the new to the best of our abilities and getting ourselves out there in hopes that the warm weather is on its way. One way to get out there is to find tasty new cocktail recipes that go perfectly with the seasons changing. Well, one of my personal favorite hotels, The Standard Hotel, located above the High Line Urban Park in Chelsea, has a new delicious cocktail recipes for you to try out. There are also two others great recipes outside of The Standard that you can try for yourself! Take a look at these tasty concoctions and enjoy!
