A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Halston on a bar counter.

Halston

A closeup of a Bitter, Year Round Halston drink against a dark background.

This cocktail pays tribute to the eponymous fashion designer. Originally crafted to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the Halston is a variation on a classic Salty Dog. Light, crisp, and citrus-forward, with bright grapefruit, lemon tonic, and orange bitters, this cocktail is fit for a king. It’s simple to prepare, but feels undeniably elevated and elegant, making it perfect for both a lazy afternoon brunch or a night out.
