On the Thursday before Christmas, Laura Shunk highlighted five festive cocktails that don’t include hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps, including the Figgy’s Manhattan at Steuben’s, which is made by combining Wild Turkey 81, Carpano Antica vermouth and Navan vanilla liqueur and infusing the whole thing with figs for five days.
