How To Make A Weston

You could say Benjamin Schiller is a “spirited” man. His job kind of requires him to be. As the Bartender/Chief Cocktail Guy at Boka, he’s constantly coming up with new drinks that reflect the season, but also, what is made available to him through the markets and his vast network of distributors. This week, Schiller is getting in touch with his inner dude, by combining three things you would normally associate with smoky parlors and backroom hobnobbing: bourbon, coffee and tobacco. He calls it a Weston, and even if you can’t find an atomizer to spray your tobacco mist (isn’t that the same as blowing smoke over the drink before serving?), you could always just belly up to the bar at Boka. I’m sure he’d be happy to make you one. Cheers.
