Destination: Cocktail: Tom Bergin’s Breakfast Cocktail
Tom Bergin’s, the sturdy Irish tavern founded in 1936, has received a makeover of late and has brushed up its drink list to include a variety of taste-tempting tipples that leap beyond your run-of-the-mill Irish coffee. One of our favorites goes by the cheerful-sounding name of Breakfast Cocktail and bravely pairs the sunshine-y flavors of marmalade and curacao with the brooding heft of whiskey and the pucker of lemon.
