Little Owl | Petit Hiboux
June 3, 2009
Joey Campanaro's Lilliputian West Village eatery is famed for its Mediterranean-inflected cuisine (the meatball sliders are divine), but its creative liquor-free cocktails shouldn't get overlooked. The Maria Cholana is a Clamato-packed Michelada variant, while the Petit Hiboux combines Austrian Grüner Veltliner wine with sweet Lillet Blanc and a shot of rare, hard-to-source…apple juice. The ingredients are shaken quickly and served over ice in a Collins glass, with a presentation that recalls Scotch on the rocks. ($10)
Drinkability: 3 stars. This could turn a toddler into a hard-core drinker. The apple juice masks alcohol flavors, resulting in a sangria-like sipper that could be served in a Capri Sun package.
