MIDTOWN —Eamon Rockey has created a perfectly clear milk punch to use as a cocktail base at Betony. He clarifies the punch, which is a mixture of juices, tea, and hot milk, using a "super bag" filter to strain out all the milk proteins and color that would usually make it cloudy. That clear liquid still "tastes like all of the things that it was made from," and then serves as the base for a range of customized cocktails. [EaterWire]

WEST VILLAGE —Market Table just recently got its liquor license, and now has launched a new cocktail program. The current late-summer menu includes cocktails like a peach Manhattan and a fizz made with muddled cherries, fennel bitters, and mint. [EaterWire]
