Summer is over which means our prefered cocktails of the season, namely a can of Narragansett mixed with beach sand and a drip or two of sunscreen, has been put back in the cabinet until next year. But fall is a great time to try out some actual adult cocktails our borough’s fine bartenders whip up with their mixology skills. So here’s your chance to try out some of Brooklyn’s best cocktails, for free! From the folks that brought you the Dekalb Classic, The Smith Street Classic is on all October at four restaurants, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away! Find out how to enter below:

The participating Restaurants are: Le Bar Tabac, Arthur on Smith, Dassara Brooklyn Ramen and Hunter’s, each of which is making a special cocktail for the event using Greenhook Ginsmiths and Lejay Cassis. Participants get to go to each bar throughout the month, where your ticket entitles you to a signature cocktail from each spot.

Tix are normally $35, but you can win some right here! Just make sure to sign up for our email newsletter (it’s fun and not spammy, we promise) and tell us in the comments below what your favorite fall cocktail is. We’ll pick a winner randomly on Tuesday and let you know next week! That’s right: four delicious fancy cocktails, free for you.

PS make sure to register your comments with your email address so we can contact you. Have at it!

    Ok. None of the fancy/delicious Smith street eateries are going to approve of this but I’m telling you that my dad’s signature drink (which he makes in my rural southern hometown where the county’s dry laws forbid the sale of alcohol) is the best. Bourbon, sprite zero, splash of bottled lemon juice. Sounds country, and it is, but that doesn’t it’s not also DELICIOUS.

  2. My favorite cocktail for fall is an old fashioned. I’m also partial to a bourbon and sprite with bitters, called a Hillbilly Highball or Yeehaw if you’re more into the brevity thing.

  3. In Polish it is called Tatanka! Apple Juice with Zubrowka (Bison Grass)Vodka and a squeeze of lemon. Tastes like apple pie in a drink. Bison Grass Vodka can be found at most Greenpoint liquor stores as well as Big Tree in Bushwick.

  4. Equal parts Rye whiskey + Green Chartreuse + Maraschino + lemon juice
    It doesn’t look like it would turn out very well on paper. In a cocktail glass, however, is another matter.

    My go-to drink is actually something I order year round. Tequila with grapefruit juice, lime juice, and a splash of simple syrup. Yum!
