In addition to his multiple talents, it turns out that Leonard Cohen also knew how to mix a drink. He created a simple three-ingredient cocktail called the Red Needle back in 1975. It consisted of tequila, cranberry juice and lemon, not as sweet as a Cosmopolitan (which came along later) and served in a stem glass over ice. Now, with the Leonard Cohen exhibit on display at the Jewish Museum, the drink is being served on Thursdays in August in the museum lobby and in the cafe run by Russ & Daughters.
“Cocktails With Cohen,” Thursdays in August, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., “Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything,” Russ & Daughters at the Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue (92nd Street), thejewishmuseum.org.
