Just a few weeks again, our group voyaged from the Brooklyn Navy Yard throughout the East River, by the Monetary District, and as much as Midtown to report on Hurricane Vacationer: A class 5 nor’easter anticipated to pulverize Rockefeller Heart for many of December. Upon arrival, we noticed what we anticipated: too many individuals on sidewalks, elevated Nuts 4 Nuts purchases, and a two-block line at Magnolia Bakery. However finally we discovered one thing new, sensible, and actually, actually pleasant: A breakfast sandwich-tasting, coupe-sized cocktail at Pebble Bar. We discovered the attention of the storm.
The brainchild of Pebble Bar’s head bartender, Tim Sweeney, the cocktail in query—which they’ve aptly named ‘The Pebble Egg & Cheese’—interprets NYC’s most iconic breakfast sandwich right into a riff on a conventional whiskey bitter. And, thanks to each one of many drink’s substances being totally scrumptious, it actually works.

However, as you recognize, it takes a village to make a breakfast sandwich you may drink. On this case, meaning tapping Black Seed Bagels to gather their surplus bagels and ship them off to New York’s Matchbook Distilling so the spirit maker might brew a bagel-based Eau-de-Vie. It additionally means looping in Very important Farms so you will have high quality eggs driving the drink’s shaken, egg-white foam topping. And lastly, you want Sweeney to combine all of it along with bacon-infused bourbon—making a drink that’s vibrant, savory, and supreme in the beginning of a protracted, winter’s night time.
Briefly, in case you’re searching for shelter from Midtown’s holiday-induced chaos, pop into Pebble Bar. Then sip in your breakfast. Possibly order an oyster or six. After which, possibly—possibly—wait in line for one thing.
