The highly anticipated Game of Thrones final season just opened and it seems like everyone is hopping on the HBO coattails hoping for praise and hype.  NY Cocktail Expo is happy to oblige as well. With almost 10 years of televised dramatic history under its belt, GoT is positioned to be one of the most impactful and acclaimed series of this generation!  That said, this marks the beginning of a cocktail series that you can follow to the final season!
