Golden Slumbers Cocktail Recipe

At The Danforth (the latest project from the hospitality team behind Death & Co.), the food and drinks are inspired by New England Americana. The Golden Slumbers feels right at home on the East Coast, stirring together classic flavors such as apple and pear with bright verjus blanc and bitter Luxardo Bitter Bianco, resulting in a cocktail that tastes nostalgic, yet modern.
