Jazz Fest Tipple at the JW Marriott Chicago

Jazz sounds better when you're just a little bit buzzed off bourbon. That's why you need to precede Chicago Jazz Festival with a stop at the JW Marriott Chicago for one (or several, depending on how numb you'd like to feel) of their special Jazz at Dusk cocktails. The perfect tipsy treat for Labor Day weekend, the cocktail rewards your daily labors with a potent amount of bourbon mixed by bartender Laura Green, and it's essential Loop drinking to or fro the musical festivities. 

The Jazz at Dusk cocktail sings with intoxicating flavors of Bulleit bourbon, Hennessey VSOP, Angostura bitters, Fee Brothers chocolate bitters, and maple syrup. It goes down as smooth as jazz. And this sultry sipper will get you deceptively drunk. The drink costs $12, available in the Lobby Lounge at the JW Marriott Chicago August 29 through September 2.
