Warming up at The James

Last night, I got the opportunity to check out one of the sexiest new rooftop bars in NYC: Jimmy at The James hotel in Soho -- a brand spankin' new spot you won't want to miss.

David Burke is the mastermind behind this hip, urban spot, which has stunning views of the NYC skyline, a cozy vibe complete with a fireplace, and a few holiday trimmings to set the scene (think elegant seasonal flowers and a few twinkle lights).

It was an insanely cold day and we were looking for a warm-up, so Justin -- the extremely knowledgeable bartender and doppleganger for Dominic Monaghan, stirred up the following sips made with fresh herbs taken right from the on-site Chef's Garden:

Mulberry Street Vesper: Luksusowa Vodka, Plymouth Gin, Lillet, Liquore Strega & a dash of Cynar served up with a flamed orange twist.

Adirondack Sazaerac: Michter’s American Rye & muddled rosemary with fresh mint & housemade bitters.

Legal in Vermont: Knob Creek Bourbon and organic Vermont maple syrup served over a cinnamon ice block (super cool and dee-lish!), and red shiso garnish.
