The McCarren Spritzer at the Elm

Hipster-bogged Billyburg isn’t exactly the beachy oasis of our summer dreams, but a poolside quaff crammed with tropical umbrellas and colorful straws brings a much-welcome wink of East Hampton to the East River. The Chelsea Hotels resto pours a seasonal swirl of St. Germain, grapefruit and the hotel’s private-label rosé from North Fork’s Mattebella Vineyards. 160 North 12th St between Bedford Ave and Berry St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-218-1088, theelmnyc.com). Glass $14, pitcher $70.
