Currently Craving...

Put down your vodka and cranberry! Step away from the PBR! If you're in the mood for a more exciting and sophisticated drink, look no further. These are for sippers, not guzzlers; savor every delightful nuance and get your taste buds tingling with specialty drinks from around Boston and beyond.

The Black Dahlia

This recipe consists of 1oz 42 Below vodka, .5oz triple sec, .5oz Pom juice, .25oz lemon juice, and 3-4 fresh blackberries. Shake these ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass.

Thank you to Noir bar at the Charles Hotel for this ambrosial beverage. 

Italian Sunrise

In a highball with ice, fill half of the glass with Grey Goose Pear, add a splash of pomegranate juice (enough to taint the drink pink), a splash of limoncello, and top with San Pellegrino Limonatta. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Thank you to Alchemy Tapas and Bistro for this delicious, summery drink! 


Cherry Coke

Shake with ice and strain into a mason jar 2oz cherry vodka, 1oz simple syrup, and .5oz sweet vermouth. Top with cola, and garnish with a cherry.

Strawberry Lemonade

Fill a highball with ice and a brown sugar rim, and add 2oz strawberry infused vodka, 1oz simple syrup, and finish homemade lemonade. This isn't the type of drink sold at your child's neighborhood lemonade stand!

Thank you to Cafeteria for these two cocktails!
