Cheers to Long Evenings and Cold Cocktails

The sun’s staying up longer and that steamy-summer NYC weather is getting balmier. Time for some AC, comfy chairs, and chilled drinks. You know we love seasonal cocktails at Passerine, and renew our menu from time to time to truly reflect the many versions of our dynamic home, New York City.

Everything tastes better in summer, especially a delicious craft cocktail. Whether shaken or stirred, our talented bar team has curated a refreshing and innovative selection of summer cocktails-elixirs of vibrant citrus, tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and floral notes-floral and botanical drinks to cool you down at the end of a long, hot day.

First, there’s our seasonal rotation of an Elevated Gin & Tonic. For June & July, we’re making it with cordial cherry and an infusion of saffron. Then, there’s the Bulbul: rum, lip-licking lychee liqueur, tangy pineapple, lemon, and juicy hibiscus. If coming in at dusk, get the Golden Hour to match the mood; it features tropical notes of coconut oil-washed rum, pineapple, lime, and agave. Surrounded by our greenery wallpaper, you’ll feel transported. Finally, there’s the Scarlett Affair, your vibrant answer to those sultry summer nights, a delectable mix of basmati rice vodka, bold hibiscus, sweet elderflower, warming cardamom, tart lime, and balancing orange bitters.

So, think: it’s been a long day in the sun, and you’re craving the simple pleasure of gathering with friends as daylight lingers well into the evening. We think there’s something magical about Happy Hour in the summer-that season for really slowing down, sun dresses and sandals welcome, enjoying fun and new summer drinks made to surprise and delight, spontaneous get-togethers after months of hibernation. Whatever you’re sipping, we believe restaurants should bring your favorite people together, from grand occasions to simple evenings spent in good company.

Cheers to that with us, at Passerine, E 20th St, New York, NY
