Bartender Brooke Arthur's Holiday Cocktail Recipe

Lou Bustamante

Brooke Arthur's Napoleon's Vice, named simply after the image of the French general on the bottle of sherry, is new holiday cocktail on the list at Wo Hing General Store designed to be a low-alcohol winter tiki-style drink. According to Arthur, the drink is unique in that, "the acid in the cocktail comes mainly from the sherry and pineapple juice, instead of the usual larger pour of citrus."
