Chilled Drink of The Week: Apple Cider Sangria
By Adam Rains
La Marina, on the edge of the Hudson River in upper Manhattan, is a hidden getaway from the bustling city, with amazing food, great music and a luxurious atmosphere reminiscent of an urban island paradise.
The drinks menu created by Beverage Director, mixologist Zachary Sharaga, is helping to put this beautiful dock bar and restaurant on the map. Especially for the fall, he is mixing up seasonal favorites using fresh ingredients.
“The big city culture is moving towards easily fresh made juices and the opening of many shops, boutiques and prevalent farmer’s markets,” says Sharage.
