The Bar Menu
Seven drinks, seven chart hits, one very good year. Ranked by where the song finished on the year‑end chart, because we commit to a bit around here.
Whitney Houston · Strawberry Basil Margarita
Tequila or agave THC spirit, strawberry-basil syrup, fresh lime. Gives you enough time to figure out how to chase your blues away.
BuildShake with ice. Strain over fresh ice.
Whitesnake · Surfer On Acid
Jägermeister, coconut rum and pineapple, shaken cold and served as a shot. You won't know where you're going, but you'll sure know where you've been.
BuildShake hard. Strain into two chilled shot glasses.
Crowded House · Aviation, Slightly Rerouted
Gin, lemon, crème de violette, Benedictine. Hey now, hey now.
BuildShake with ice. Double strain into a chilled coupe.
U2 · A Manhattan, Two Ways
See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side. It will wait for you.
BuildStir 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe.
Prince · The Purple One
Empress gin, maraschino, Sprite. No unpronounceable symbol necessary.
BuildIce, Sprite, maraschino. Float the Empress last, slowly.
Fleetwood Mac · N/A Old Fashioned
Three Spirit adaptogen or Calmezzi THC base. Strong‑steeped black tea, coffee simple syrup, orange oil, a big rock. Looks, smells, and even tastes a little old-fashioned. Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies.
BuildStir over one big rock. Express orange peel.
Madonna · Cold Brew Colada
Cold brew, coconut cream and orgeat over crushed ice with nutmeg and lime zest across the top. Last night I dreamt of San Pedro.
BuildShake hard. Pour unstrained over crushed ice.
