On February 4th, Bompas & Parr, a London culinary design studio is debuting their A-Z Cocktail at the bar and in some room mini-bars at the W New York in Times Square.  This cocktail is an experiment using twenty-six ingredients all beginning with a different letter of the alphabet.  Co-founder of Bompas & Parr, Harry Parr states that, “It would be all too easy to randomly combine a minibar’s worth of ingredients and make something undrinkable. The challenge here was to create something beyond novelty for its own sake and end up with a balanced drink.”  And, what a drink they created!
