Head to this bar on College Street that’s redefining biker culture for a refreshing take on summer cocktails.
At Bar Stray, a modern day biker bar, you’ll find motorcycles, neon signs and graffiti, but also an inventive menu of craft cocktails and locally-sourced bites including Persian feta, pulled pork, grilled cheese and more.
For this inventive cocktail, torch some cinnamon sticks, capture the smoke and then drench the cocktail in the cinnamon smoke for an extra oomph.
Here’s how you can try this at home (but really the fun is watching someone else do it, so head to Bar Stray as soon as possible!).
