Backbar bar manager Carlo Caroscio (who spent six years at chef Bryan Voltaggio’s flagship fine-dining restaurant Volt) keeps things relaxed but never dumbed-down. Bartender Joseph Habib’s Kiwi Bird arrives on a tray of ice with a cute kiwi bird gazing into a barrel glass. Scotch is bolstered by vodka, then goes tart and lush with kiwi, coconut cream, lime and orange bitters.
