Famed NYC cocktail bars Bar Goto and Bar Goto Niban have created a new spin on the classic Chrysanthemum Cocktail (vermouth, benedictine, and a touch of absinthe). Bartender Koharu Usui’s brand new spring cocktail, “Kiku” has reimagined the drink with Chrysanthemum Vermouth, Benedictine, and Absinthe. The result: a mildly sweet and elegantly buttery cocktail with soft honey notes. Perfect as an aperitif or to serve on a spring evening with guests.
