KDHamptons & LUX magazine are excited to serve the hottest craft cocktails of the summer, by Via Carota (Yep, from THAT Via Carota hot NYC restaurant hotspot) at our upcoming Books, Bubbly, & Blooms party in partnership with Bedside Reading. In anticipation for the fabulous holiday weekend party, here is a sneak peak into which craft cocktails we will be serving and a bit of the backstory about Via Carota Craft Cocktails…

The team at Via Carota Craft Cocktails came together around the deep connection that they felt towards Via Carota; the award winning West Village restaurant. The warmth of the restaurant space, the relaxed elegance of the experience and of course the exceptional food and drinks all combine to make Via Carota both timeless and perpetually contemporary. To them, Via Carota is the ideal destination for a big celebration or an easy night in NYC’s best neighborhood, elevated by a perfectly-crafted cocktail.
This was the inspiration that led the team to create Via Carota Craft Cocktails. Their mission is to offer exquisite cocktails in unique and beautiful bottles, so that you can enjoy the spirit of Via Carota wherever life finds you.

At the upcoming Books, Bubbly, Blooms event, KDHamptons will be serving the following Via Carota Craft Cocktails;

• The White Negroni
• The Old Fashioned
• The Expresso Martini

The White Negroni

How to enjoy: Serve cold, pour over ice, & garnish with a lemon peel for the perfect finish.

Tasting Notes: An herbaceous and playful variation of the quintessential Italian cocktail. The floral nose and undertone of white peppercorn and lemon essence lead to a finish built on gentian root.

The Old Fashioned

How to enjoy: Serve cold, pour over ice, & garnish with orange peel or a Maraschino cherry.

Tasting Notes: The oaky complexity of aged rye presents flavors such as caramel, vanilla, warming spice, and citrus peel that develop through a long, satisfying finish.

The Expresso Martini

How to enjoy: Serve cold, shake, pour, & garnish with fresh coffee beans for an elegant finish.

Tasting Notes: A nose of chocolate, toffee, and dark fruit opens up to a silky beverage with hints of chicory, cherry, and dark chocolate.
