Be Your Own Bartender at the James Hotels

You’re in New York or Chicago. You want to take advantage of the famed nightlife, go out for a couple of drinks and pass out on the bed of your gorgeous hotel. You’re staying at the James, ideally located in downtown Chicago or NYC’S Soho. How about skipping the going out part and letting the nightlife come to you?

The James Hotel tempts you to take part in their ‘In Room Cocktail Experience,’ which can be ordered from the dining menu. Every room of the hotel already comes equipped with all that is necessary to create personalized cocktails, including a pint glass with printed recipes specifically imagined for in-room mixology.

An expert mixologist will teach you the ins and outs of making the perfect drink, so watch and learn. Or try it yourself. Don’t worry, there’s not much room for screw-ups since all the ingredients are perfectly proportioned beforehand.

The following selection of drinks is available for your pleasure:

  • Corpse Reviver 2 (Gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, Lemon)
  • The Marguerita (Tequila, Cointreau, Lime, Simple Syrup)
  • Old Havana (Rum, Simple Syrup, Lime, Bitters)
  • Blood and Sand (Bourbon, Cherry Heering, Sweet Vermouth, Orange)
  • Moscow Mule (Vodka, Lime, Ginger Ale, Bitters)

However, if you’re feeling a little risqué, want to mix outside the menu but don’t know where to start, its ok. Provided is the American Bar, a book with over 200 recipes of contemporary cocktails.
