Part of a new menu inspired by early ’90s TV shows and movies, this take on the New York Sour relies on Frangelico, a hazelnut liqueur, to add a pleasingly nutty scent and rich texture. Also in the mix is Tattersall Orange Crema, a bold orange liqueur made by Tattersall Distillers in Minneapolis, but orange Curaçao can be substituted.
