    Bernard Madoff hasn’t just inspired ex-investors to head to the bar; he’s inspired one of the city’s top mixologists to whip up a new cocktail: The Madoff 150.

    This past Saturday night at the Hudson River Cafe, a Madoff scam victim asked mixologist Alex Ott to concoct something powerful to “ease his pain,” Ott said. Ott’s solution? The Madoff 150 ($5) — named for the number of years Madoff will spend behind bars — made of Grand Marnier, tequila, crushed pineapple, cilantro, ginger and lime juice.

    “One will forget his losses after imbibing this cocktail,” Ott said.
