At New York’s Chez Zou, the Haifa Vice was designed to play with the layered element of the Miami Vice. Served in a jarra pitcher, each component with its own spout, the vessel allows guests to control the amount of each drink that they pour into their glasses. Chez Zou clarifies the drink using pectinase and other enzymes, but this version relies, instead, on a more classic milk punch approach.
