| Two new drinks at Morton's The Steakhouse |
Morton's The Steakhouse is not just a meat locker. Its bar stocks fresh fruit and house-made foams to create new springy cocktails that will please more than just (former) Amex Black i-bankers.
Their Heavenly Strawberry Mint Margarita shakes up fresh berries and mint with tequila, Cointreau and lime, while the Cool as a Cucumber muddles cukes with vodka, elderflower liqueur St. Germain and ginger beer for a surprisingly complex quaff.
Though the new spring drinks are not included, their new Power Hour (5-6:30 p.m. daily) features discounted ($8) cosmopolitans, martinis and Palm Beach cocktails, as well as $6 Canyon Ranch wines and $4 Sam Adams and Budweisers, along with food specials.
Try your hand at Morton's new drinkables in the comfort of home � recipes after the jump.
