Pina Colada, The Bowery Diner

The Bowery Diner is located in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. After dinner at Saxone + Parole, we were walking down Bowery to our next drinking destination and happened upon the Bowery Diner. Since our NY contributor had done a wonderful piece on the Jenni Lee cocktail, I have been wanting to try one of their bamboozled (alcoholic) shakes. Luckily my research companion ordered a shake which left me to get my favorite tropical drink, a Pina Colada. I loved the Bowery Diner's twist on the pina colada with the addition of cardomom and jalapeno. Now, where is the ocean when I need one!

Chocolate Cake Shake, The Bowery Diner

The Bowery Diner is located in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. We had dinner at Saxone + Parole on my 3 day visit to New York this summer. When I saw that Bowery Diner, previously written about by our NY correspondent, was in the neighborhood, I knew where we would be headed for dessert. When Elaine first wrote about the Bowery Diner, I had to check out their menu. Since then, I have been wanting one of their Boozy Feel Good Shakes. My research companion beat me to the punch and ordered the adult version of the Chocolate Cake Shake with Chartreuse. This shake was off the charts. I just love when you can have dessert in a glass.

The Bowery Diner was recently named by CNN as one of America's coolest new diners. Congrats!

Jenni Lee, The Bowery Diner

The Bowery Diner in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City just opened earlier in  2012.  It's hard to miss the cocktails listed on the menu.  There are so many with such interesting names (The Rupert Holmes, Teaches on Peaches, Sunshine on my Shoulder) and ingredients (hibiscus agave, peach infused agave and house-made pickle brine).  I decided on the Jenni Lee with buffalo trace bourbon, mint agave, fresh lime juice and orange bitters.  This cocktail was surprisingly mild and refreshing.  Since I was there for happy hour, it may have tasted even better at 50% off.  I can't wait to return to try one of the Feel Good Shakes (Chartreuse, Bourbon, Brandy or Pastis) or a spiked version of the regular shakes like the Apple Pie (with Maker's Mark), NY Cheesecake (with Grey Goose) or the Lemon Meringue Pie (with Limoncello).
