7x7 asks the city's chefs for the recipes to their most loved cocktails, bar snacks, starters, mains, and desserts. If there's a dish you can't stop thinking about and want to make at home, email schuyler@7x7.com. Your wish may end up on the blog, along with the actual recipe from the chef.
Fifth Floor bar manager Brian Means wants to stop the world and melt with you. Named after the old school Claymation cartoon character, the Freeze Mizer from “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” (who melted anytime he touched something hot), the “Mizers Demise” is a boozy hot chocolate cocktail that he created in collaboration with pastry chef, Francis Ang. Go ahead, warm up to it.
