Hotels That Stock Minibars for Cocktail Enthusiasts

The boutique Wall Street-area hotel provides guests with a designer bar set that includes a mixing glass, strainer, muddler, mason shaker and coupe glasses, as well as high-quality mixers like Boylan Heritage Tonic. Those checking out can snag the $24 Carry-On Cocktail Kit for everything you need to make two old-fashioneds at 30,000 feet.

Resident mixologist Priscilla Young preps bottled cocktails for every room like her Mocha-Chili Ourchata , a spicy, boozy horchata riff made with rum, almond milk, Ghiradelli chocolate and Thai chile. The Prychard’s Bouquet combines chamomile-infused vodka, mint, honey, agave and lemonade. At $13 a pop, they're not much more expensive than drinking at a good bar.

For cocktail enthusiasts who want to take the work into their own hands, The James provides an “in-room cocktail experience”: shaker, strainer, fresh citrus, mixers and a book of cocktail recipes.

Bottled gin martinis, Manhattans and Negronis are all available in-room at this hip hotel pioneer.

The minibar here includes a hangover kit filled with vitamins, energy shots and Alka-Seltzer to help offset the bottled drinks on offer, including a frosted martini made with both floral and citrus bitters and the Champagne-spiked Bright Eyed Collins.

In addition to an expert bar stocked with bottles like Brooklyn-made Due North Rum to Baby Bourbon Whiskey from New York's Hudson Valley, The Surrey can send up in-room mixologists to make drinks for up to five people. And pay attention, because they’ll leave you enough fresh fruit, herbs and liquid sustenance to make the next round yourself.
