My favorite drink of late is a Choker: Pernod, scotch, and bitters shaken and served over ice. The drink has a milky yellow color, the usual anise nose of Pernod, and it leaves the tongue pleasantly numb after a few sips. One Choker is enough to allow your companions to work through a couple beers, martinis, or coffees. Alternatively, if you’re drinking alone (as I increasingly am for lack of friends in the city) one Choker is enough to get through several chapters of a novel or a newspaper read front-to-back.
I order Chokers, albeit not by name, at Tryst, where they feature Pernod on their weekend cocktail menu and pour a generous glass for $7.00.
