Coronado Sunset Spritz
A light, sparkly cocktail inspired by an afternoon at the Hotel del Coronado, watching the sky turn every shade of pink over the water. Grapefruit, bubbles, and a sprig of rosemary make it feel a little celebratory — perfect for a sunset toast, a slow dinner on the patio.
Blended Margarita
Cold, citrusy, and blended with orange juice, lime sparkling water, and just enough tequila. Five minutes later, Taco Tuesday is looking considerably better.
Maggie May Mule
A cold, bright mule with fresh lime, ginger beer, and a little Rod Stewart. Perfect before a concert, a summer evening out, or anytime the night needs a signature drink.
Little Italy Spritz
A bright, bubbly cocktail inspired by an evening in San Diego's Little Italy. Limoncello, prosecco, and a splash of S. Pellegrino makes it light, citrusy, and easy to pour again. Perfect for a patio happy hour, a summer dinner, or any evening that calls for a little sparkle.
