New York Moon Festival Cocktails Feast Recipes

This year’s New York Harvest Moon Festival deviated from strict Chinese and Vietnamese traditions to include a Cocktails Feast featuring NYC’s “Star-tenders” (…I can’t believe I just typed that…) such as Eamon Rockey (Betony), Walter Easterbrook (The Bowery Hotel), Greg Seider (Manhattan Cricket Club), Marlo Gamora (Jeepney) and Shinichi Ikeda (B Flat). 

If you weren’t able to attend, or if you’re enjoying the Labor Day weekend away from Manhattan, the reps for Bombay Sapphire East Gin – a spirit featured throughout the cocktails offered this year — sent along a few of the event’s most popular recipes.
