The 212 Cocktail is a sultry mix of reposado tequila, a bit of Aperol, and grapefruit, recommended by Ryan Fitzgerald, bartender at New York City’s ABV. We suggest pairing this with straightforward pizza, like a Margherita. 

This is a one-of-a-kind cocktail that was created in the Bevvy Cocktail Lab. The smoky mezcal and fresh mint in this drink combine and make a perfect, refreshing treat to sip on.This recipe is courtesy of Aubrey Joy Schuster at bevvy.co.

For a true throwback, nothing can beat summer’s Southside, a drink that originated during Prohibition. According to cocktail folklore, this concoction was created by an Irish gang in gangster-ruled Chicago who were attempting to mask the bitter taste of bathtub gin with mint, a refreshing green garnish. Another tale insists it was created at Manhattan’s 21 Club, a preferred hot spot for the elite. It was such a hit among the city’s tastemakers that it became the preferred choice of country club-goers in the Hamptons during the steamy summer months. Today, you can still order this sought-after number at Manhattan’s PDT (Please Don’t Tell), an East Village speakeasy famous for its ultra posh crowd and cozy atmosphere. Nothing sets the mood at a classic joint quite like this classic favorite.
