Sephrah is a tour guide on our Original Greenwich Village Tour, and she knows her way around the kitchen. She spent time baking cheesecakes at Grand Central Station’s famed Oyster Bar Restaurant.
She also knows the ins-and-outs of holiday cocktails. Her husband is a professional “cocktailologist,” and as a long-time NYC resident, she’s visited some of the best!
Here’s her list of the best beverages to sip on during the holidays, where to find them, and how to make them at home.
Cheers!
