For sipping, Forsythia will offer $10 glasses of Champagne and sparkling rosé all night long in addition to a spirited craft cocktail menu, local brews, and French wines. Priced at $14 each, celebratory tipples include Apple Butter Face crafted with apple butter-infused Maker’s Mark Bourbon, spiced pear, and absinthe Rinse, Firework composed of habanero-infused vodka, lime cordial, and cucumber, and Negroni en Blanc with gin, Luxardo Bitter Bianco, and Dolin Blanc.
“We want everyone to come out and have a great time and send 2021 into the history books in debauched, delicious style,” said General Manager Jennifer Camela.
