New Cocktails from Emerald Lounge at Boston’s Independent Hotel, Revere
By Adam Rains
Emerald Lounge has mixed up a bevy of season cocktails that are as colorful as a New England fall and wicked as a winter Nor’easter. Emerald’s Beverage Director, Teodora Bakardzhieva, has carefully concocted a cocktail menu that combines seasonal tastes with a New England flair that will be poured in the form of the Fig Sidecar, the Beet of Life and the Fallen Angel.
