This variation on a Tom Collins with gin, lemon, absinthe, sherry, soda water, and sherry is one of most refreshing drinks you'll find.
Go there in your mind for a second and think of something you’d typically drink on or near a beach. Does it have rum? Some tropical juices? A little umbrella shading an array of lurid garnishes, with crushed ice already beginning to shush in the heat? That’s one kind of beach drink. The Fort Tilden Cooler is the other kind.The Employees at This James Beard Award-Winning Chef’s Restaurant Just Voted to UnionizeFort Tilden is the name of a beach, not in Key Largo or Montego but in Queens, NY.
The Fort Tilden Cooler is a city beach cocktail. It’s not trying to transport you with coconut cream or an array of exotic juices. It doesn’t have time for that. It’s a serious drink with serious ingredients, one that’s simply trying to be as refreshing as humanly possible. The Fort Tilden Cooler is a creation of Andrew Rice of N.Y.C.’s Attaboy, and is precisely as straightforward and excellent as we’ve come to expect from drinks from that bar.
It would be an overstatement to call the Fort Tilden Cooler famous—Andrew Rice’s isn’t a spotlight-chaser, and it’s not even , and the cocktail’s inclusion on that list, in addition to the fact that it’s irrepressibly delicious, have earned it a second life in places like and anywhere else where drinks are called upon to make people feel less warm.
That there is no mango puree or edible orchids is immaterial. This is the other type of beachy cocktail, the kind that you can drink while listening to the waves lap at the shore, and in the distance behind you, you can still make out the skyline of Manhattan, beaconing you home.Add all liquids except for the soda water to a cocktail shaker with ice. Seal and shake hard for eight to 10 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into a collins glass, top with soda, and garnish with a grapefruit peel.
