HARLOWE: “TO HELL WITH SPAIN”

• Three different sherries, bourbon, orange and strawberry garnish, topped with crushed ice, which mellows this drink out perfectly as you sip it through the straw.

EVELEIGH: “LUCKY LOUIE”

• White rhum with muddled, tropical kumquats, fresh lime, ginger and anise for a drink that will knock your socks off.

GRACIAS MADRE: “SORRY MS. JAMSON”

• Balls of crushed ice drenched in mescal, jalepeno, fruit syrups and other delicious surprises. Combine apricot jam with subtle mezcal, lemon, and habanero bitters and top it off with a Tempranillo wine float, creating a beautiful, balanced drink that’s equal parts smoky, spicy, and sweet.

LUCQUES: “LEAF & SPEAR”

• Combine a kale-infused rum with cilantro, parsley, cumin, lime and jalapeno.

THE CHURCH KEY: “CHEF FRETZY”

Frida Tequila Blanco, Aperol, lime, and watermelon juice, with a dehydrated Campari salt rim.

BAR10: “BASIC BITCH”

• Hanson’s Ginger Vodka, coconut water, blueberry and simple syrup.

NOW BOARDING: “D.B. COOPER”

• Olmeca Altos Blanco Tequila makes for a delicious base when combined with watermelon, lime, and jalapeño. That spicy end note is the perfect complement for the summer heat.

BAR LUBITSCH: “BAR FLOWER”

• Based on two floral flavors—hibiscus-infused Russian Standard vodka and elderflower liqueur—and accented with cranberry and dry Champagne.
