The cookbook menu will replace the last: Trick Dog Airways, which was modeled after the security card a passenger would find on the back of an airplane seat.
The 13 new cocktails ($14 each) in Trick Dog’s “Cookbook” come with a blurb about the chef and the cocktail, as well as a recipe explaining how to make the drinks.
Included in the mix are Dominique Crenn, Atelier Crenn; Gabriela Camara, Cala; ; Craig Stoll, Delfina; Tom McNaughton and Ryan Pollnow, flour + water; Traci des Jardins, Planter; Ravi Kapur, Liholiho Yacht Club; Jew from Brandon, at Mr. Jiu’s; Kim Alter, Nightbird, Melissa Perello, Octavia; Evan and Sarah Rich, Rich Table; Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, State Bird Provisions; and Angela Pinkerton, Theorita.
