Each month, Mohonk bartenders compete to create a specialty craft cocktail for our New York lake resort. They are given one key ingredient, or theme, which must be featured in their seasonal creations. The key ingredient for July was “Otto’s Athens Vermouth” cocktails. A select group of lucky employees got to taste, discuss, and vote on the winning “Cocktail of the Month,” which can be enjoyed by guests in the Carriage Lounge among a variety of hyper-local draft beers and New York spirits.
