The Madame Almack's is a cocktail from 67 Orange Street in Harlem. The bar's address was also the final address of Almack’s Dance Hall, an African-American-owned bar that flourished in the early 1800s. Kali Irwin, the bar's general manager, created this old-school cocktail with a baroque twist. In the Madame Almack's, Bison Grass vodka meets Cynar, an artichoke-flavored aperitif, along with fresh mint and Champagne. —Jonathan Miles
