Natasha David has a penchant for things that sparkle, namely spritz drinks. The Pinkies Out is one such bubbling cocktail born of a love for weird wine and infused Dolin Blanc. At Nitecap, David mixes oxidized orange wine with chamomile-infused Dolin Blanc. Balanced with Cocchi Americano, bright verjus blanc (unfermented grape juice) and dry apple cider, this cocktail is surprisingly taught, fizzy formula. Though it may be ladylike, it’s an addictive drink that pops nearly every pinkie finger holding it.
