Employees Only Cocktail Mixers

One of Manhattan’s best cocktail bars—Employees Only—is sharing its secrets with a new line of cocktail ingredients so you can make your favorite drink at home. In the mood for a gimlet or lime rickey? Pick up a bottle of the all-natural EO Lime Cordial ($7.49 for 12 ounces, $14.95 for 25), made of lime juice, kaffir lime leaf and agave nectar. If the Billionaire is your drink of choice when you’re out on the town, you’ll need the EO Brand Grenadine ($11.49 for 12 ounces, $22.95 for 25), sweetened with sugar, pomegranate juice, cloves and other spices. And when you decide to be an at-home mixologist, you don’t have to miss out on some good bartender advice. Dushan Zaric and Jason Kosmas, who created the EO Brand, also wrote a great book—You Didn’t Hear It From Us: Two Bartenders Serve Women the Truth About Men, Making an Impression, and Getting What You Want. It includes all the cocktail recipes you need as well as sage heart advice. EO Brand cocktail mixers are currently available for purchase at the bar or from Fresh Direct.—Denise Shoukas
