Cocktails
Pisco Sour
Pisco hails from the coastal cradle of Pisco on the border of Peru and Chile. Legends say that when the Spanish conquistadors invaded Peru in the 16th century, they planted vast vineyards in the arid country, and then distilled the wine the grapes produced into an amber-colored brandy. Pisco is traditionally taken on the rocks, but is great in cocktails, too.
Ritual’s Chiapensis
Blanco tequila backed by fresh watermelon juice, honey & black pepper syrup, lime juice and hibiscus water. Created by Peter Clifton at Ritual Houston.
Blood Orange–Bourbon Coolers
Blood oranges differ from their thick-skinned cousins, navel oranges, because they are less acidic in taste and have a richer, berry-like flavor. When pressed, blood oranges yield a tangy-sweet juice that pairs well with bourbon.
French 77
You’ve heard of the French 75. This ’77 from the Toulouse Cafe and Bar in ATX calls for gin, elderflower liqueur, plus grapefruit and lemon juice, shaken and strained into a coupe glass — topped with prosecco. Parisian perfection!
Mattie’s Bacchus Cup
Select your favorite light colored spirit and combine with white wine, hibiscus tea, ginger and lime. The result is this beautiful bacchus cup from Mattie’s at Green Pastures in Austin!
El Diablo
This Trader Vic’s cocktail from the 1940s is a tequila spin on today’s Moscow Mule! Beach ready with just 4 ingredients.
The Godzilla
Man your battle stations — one monster of a cocktail has made landfall! Made with Reyka Vodka handcrafted in Iceland, The Godzilla is spectacularly refreshing; a adults-only beverage as fruity as it is ferocious!
Matador
Pineapple juice infuses this tequila tipple with true tropical flavor.
Silver Monk
If the margarita is the Hollywood star of the beach bar menu, the Silver Monk is its sophisticated, saltier counterpart. Its name is a nod to the French Carthusian monks who make the herbaceous Chartreuse that gives the drink its verdant hue.
Air Mail Cocktail
Tangy and terrific! This rum-based beauty is joined by equal parts lime juice and honey, topped with champagne for a sultry ‘southern belle’ of a cocktail this summer!

This is delicious…very refreshing and a beautiful shade of bright pink.
Milk Punch
Bourbon Milkpunch is enjoyed morning and night in New Orleans, where it originated, but most commonly at brunch. It can easily be whipped up before or after a meal and offers almost immediate gratification. Not to mention, it adds a beautiful color palette to any occasion.
