New York Chilled 100 Bartender Chris Toribio Creates Rite of Spring Cocktail Using Breckenridge Bourbon 

Chilled 100 Bartender Chris Toribio for Nurse Bettie in Lower East Side, NYC, creates original cocktail, Rite of Spring, using Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey in celebration of Father’s Day.

“A toast to journeys untaken and friendships rekindled.”

“The *Rite of Spring* is an evocative cocktail that embodies the spirit of enduring friendships and unfulfilled dreams. Inspired by the song by Angels and Airwaves, this drink captures the essence of life’s unexpected turns and the timeless bonds that persist despite them. Crafted by a San Francisco bartender who cherishes both the vibrant traditions of his hometown and the alluring mystique of Japan, this cocktail is a blend of cultures and narratives. 

At its heart, the *Rite of Spring* features Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, a smooth and rich foundation that nods to Colorado’s rugged landscapes and the bartender’s best friend’s roots. Fernet Hunter Yōtei adds a layer of complexity with its Japanese flair, symbolizing the dream of exploring new horizons. The Empirical Ayuuk imparts a smoky, earthy note, paying homage to the “mountain language” and the deep connections that transcend distances. A touch of Kyoto Ki No Bai adds a delicate sweetness, tying together the harmony of the ingredients. Finally, the Saline enhances the flavors, offering a subtle nod to the bittersweet nature of life’s choices. 
 

“Raise a glass to the paths we choose, the ones we leave behind, and the cherished friendships that accompany us through it all.” — Chris Toribio
