Few spots have reached the iconic status of New York City’s Via Carota, the West Village trattoria that’s a magnet for celebrities and food lovers alike. Known for simple yet flawless Italian dishes, the restaurant has been a must-visit since it opened in 2014. With regulars like Taylor Swift and Timothée Chalamet, snagging a reservation isn’t easy—but not impossible for the savvy. This holiday season, though, Via Carota can come to you with its line of incredible craft cocktails.
Developed by James Beard award-winning chefs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi, these bottled cocktails capture the spirit—no pun intended—of one of New York’s most talked-about restaurants. The same precision and passion that go into Via Carota’s renowned dishes are poured into each of these ready-to-serve drinks. They’re the perfect way to elevate your holiday festivities without the hassle of mixing and measuring.
The lineup features a selection of classic cocktails, each one delivering a distinct flavor profile. The Negroni is a masterful blend of gin, vermouth and Campari, offering a bitter, herbal punch that’s effortlessly sophisticated. Its sibling, the White Negroni, provides a lighter, citrus-forward take on the classic. If you lean toward martinis, Via Carota’s Signature Martini is crisp and perfectly balanced, while the Espresso Martini delivers a rich, velvety kick with a hint of coffee.
For those who favor bourbon, the Signature Manhattan is a timeless blend of rye whiskey, vermouth and bitters, offering a smooth and slightly sweet finish. The Old Fashioned rounds out the collection with a warm, caramel-rich depth, making it a perfect fireside companion. These drinks bring the swanky yet approachable essence of Via Carota’s bar directly to your glass.
The beauty of Via Carota Craft Cocktails is that they’re ready to pour. No need for shakers, garnishes or complicated recipes. Just chill, serve and sip. These cocktails are ideal for dinner parties, holiday gatherings or winding down after a long day. They’re also a foolproof way to impress guests without breaking a sweat behind the bar.
If you’re hunting for a standout gift this season, the 100ML Variety Six-Pack is a no-brainer. This set includes all six cocktails in single-serve bottles, allowing the lucky recipient to sample the entire lineup. It’s a perfect present for cocktail enthusiasts, friends who miss the NYC dining scene or family members who appreciate a touch of luxury. The sleek packaging and premium taste make it a gift that feels both thoughtful and indulgent.
These bottled cocktails are more than just drinks; they’re a piece of New York City’s vibrant culture. They capture the essence of Via Carota’s famed atmosphere—the kind where you might spot a celebrity at the next table while savoring a bowl of pasta. Now, you can recreate that feeling at home, whether you’re in a bustling city or a quiet suburb.
