This nightclub’s calling card isn’t exactly traditional, but it’s a perfect fit for Late Night Valentine’s brand of grown-up hospitality. “It’s an old-school drink that’s really flexible, as well as sexy,” says bar manager Patrick Carpenter. “The idea is this is the first drink people are going to have, so it’s not going to be too heavy, but still complex and interesting. We rim our drinks with orange sugar, but using normal sugar is absolutely fine, although I’d garnish it with an orange twist.”
