Drink of the Week – ‘American Pie’ Cocktail from TRACE at the W Hotel Seattle

We made a fun trip down to Seattle this week and checked out TRACE at the W Hotel, which opened just last Friday. After a three-month remodel, it is the third TRACE restaurant owned by W Hotels. We love TRACE’s chic design, with elements such as faux-leather gold lamé chairs and Seattle tones of gray and silver.

The 100-seat restaurant features dishes crafted by Chef de Cuisine Steven Ariel, a native of Honolulu who has worked Seattle’s hospitality scene since 2006 (Canlis, Café Juanita and Luc). At the bar guests will see a list of creative cocktails, wine list as well as a selection of beer and sake. One of the cocktails we tried is the ‘American Pie,’ a mix of Woodford Reserve Bourbon, blueberries, fresh pineapple and lime juice.
