To kick off hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Brooklyn this week, the late night talk show host threw an epic cocktail party at Pioneer Works on Saturday with some of his closest friends and family — and of course, lots of delicious cocktails and food. Kimmel, who is a Brooklyn native, teamed up with Diageo spirits to celebrate his week-long residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, serving classic New York City bites and custom cocktails from Smirnoff Vodka, Bulleit Bourbon, and Tanqueray Gin, created by some of Brooklyn’s finest bartenders from local places like Skinny Dennis, Donna, Hank’s Saloon, and Clover Club.
