This year they tell us they have a few new ones in the works, including "an interesting corn-based colada, Chicha Morada, made with house made red-corn wine infused with black spices, such as cloves and cardamom, and a splash of pineapple infused Pisco." They'll also have a "refreshing Summer Corn Water with tomato infused tequila, and a Tomato Water Mary, made with dried and fresh tomatoes, horseradish infused vodka, and celery bitters."</p><p>There's also the ol' standby: the Mint Julep, which is served in a proper pewter Julep cup and garnished with a generous bouquet of organic mint. Are you drinking it, or just burying your face in it and savoring the aroma? That's your business.</p><p><strong>Where is it?</strong> <a href="http://rougetomatenyc.com">Rouge Tomate</a>, 14 East 60th Street in Manhattan.</p>
