THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION
As the air turns crisp and the vibrant colors of fall sweep through New York City, Electric Lemon at Equinox Hotel introduces a lineup of exquisite cocktails and non-alcoholic creations by Kate Uglova that perfectly capture the season’s essence. Our new fall offerings highlight carefully selected ingredients, artisanal techniques, and the spirit of innovation that defines our menu. Here’s a peek into our must-try fall cocktails and non-alcoholic sips.
Hudson Spritz
This refreshing spritz blends the rich, aromatic flavors of Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto and Luxardo Aperitif Bitter Bianco with a unique house-made bergamot cordial and Earl Grey bitters. Topped with Prosecco Bisol Jeio Brut DOC and Fever Tree Soda, it’s garnished with a lime wheel and wrinkle-cut lemon leaves on a sleek metal pick. Italicus, with its notes of Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian citrons, alongside the fruity spice of Luxardo, creates a well-rounded, slightly bitter aperitif that pairs perfectly with fall’s golden hour.
E.L. Fashioned – Re-envisioned
A playful twist on the classic Old Fashioned, this cocktail brings together the bold flavor of George Dickel 8-Year Bourbon—peanut butter-washed for a creamy texture—alongside our house-made oat orgeat and banana syrup. Garnished with a peanut butter chip and grated peanuts, it’s a smooth, nutty indulgence that warms the soul.
Citrus Spark Negroni
Our fall spin on the classic Negroni uses fresh Valencia oranges and an interplay of Tanqueray Gin, Punt e Mes Vermouth, and Select Aperitivo. The addition of Bigallet China-China, a liqueur made from bitter orange peels and aromatic botanicals, adds complexity, while a garnish of kumquats and the Electric Lemon logo stamp make it as visually stunning as it is delicious.
In The Cloud
For a tropical twist on autumn, try “In The Cloud,” featuring lemongrass-infused Belvedere vodka, Kalani coconut liqueur, and clarified pineapple and yuzu juices. Topped with strawberry-coconut foam and a sprinkle of grated Limoo Omani (dried limes), it brings a dreamy, cloud-like texture and flavor that transports you to exotic shores, even in the heart of fall.
Whiskey Blossom
Perfect for whiskey lovers, this cocktail combines Suntory Toki Japanese whiskey with Lillet Rosé and Suze, resulting in a beautifully balanced drink. The addition of London Essence Peach & Jasmine Soda provides a delicate floral note, while a viola flower garnish makes it as elegant as it is flavorful.
Golden Hour
Inspired by the warm hues of autumn sunsets, this cocktail mixes Flecha Azul Blanco tequila and Del Maguey Vida Mezcal with a zesty blend of pineapple, golden beet, ginger, and turmeric juices. Finished with a dash of lime and black lava salt, it’s a drink that captures the magic of fall evenings in every sip.
Non-Alcoholic Selections
Electric Lemon’s fall menu also offers an exciting selection of non-alcoholic cocktails, perfect for those seeking a sophisticated sip without the alcohol.
Non-Alcoholic White Negroni
This alcohol-free twist on a classic features Roots Divino Aperitif Bianco, Everleaf Forest, Seedlip Grove 42, and non-alcoholic orange bitters. Garnished with an Electric Lemon logo stamp and a marigold flower, this drink offers the complexity of a traditional Negroni with herbal and citrus flavors, without the alcohol.
Passion Spice
A burst of bright, tropical flavors, Passion Spice combines passion fruit puree with allspice rosemary syrup, yuzu juice, and fresh mint, topped with Fever Tree Soda. The result is a sweet, tangy, and aromatic refreshment, perfect for a crisp autumn afternoon.
Electric Lemon’s new fall cocktail menu is an ode to the changing seasons, with inventive flavors that warm the soul and excite the senses. Whether you’re savoring the cozy richness of the E.L. Fashioned or enjoying the refreshing lightness of the Hudson Spritz, our drinks are crafted to complement your perfect fall evening at Equinox Hotel.
