AMAZING
1st BRANDY SWEET OLD FASHIONED
Station No. 06, West Allis
Brandy sweet variety, and ohhhh soooooo goooood. Sweet and fruity with a good bite to it. The perfect balance of ingredients. The bar for Wisconsin Old Fashioned is set by Station No. 06.
2nd PEACH COOLER
Sweetwater Tavern & Grille (Michigan Plaza - Chicago), Chicago
Maker's Mark, peach schnapps, and lemon-lime soda highlight a truly exquisite and sweet cocktail worth every penny and every drop in the glass. Sweet, fruity, and refreshing!
3rd STRAWBERRY CIDER MULE
North 48, Cedarburg
OHHHHH YEAHH!! Summer sweetness in a magical cocktail! Strawberry nectar, ginger beer, and strawberry simple syrup are a HEAVENLY combination that I will absolutely need to replicate at home! Light and sweet and with a spicy kick from the ginger, this was absolutely delightful! Did not last long!
4th ST. BRADY BEACH DAY
Oak Barrel Public House, Milwaukee
Self described as a play on a Sex on the Beach, this is such a great refreshing cocktail! The peach is the dominant flavor here but I am quite happy by that! Served in a pint glass instead of a cocktail glass, so really worth the money!!!
5th APPLE CRISP MARTINI
The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward, Milwaukee
An incredible rum and apple cider drink flavored with honey, lemon, and cinnamon… this was a refreshing taste of fall in a glass!
6th TWICE SPICED CIDER MULE
Station 1846, Milwaukee
An incredible specialty mule, this sweet and cinnamon flavored apple mule is an immaculate combination of flavors setting a very high bar for the flavored/specialty mules.
7th ICY FRENCH TOAST
Bryant's Cocktail Lounge, Milwaukee
Vanilla ice cream blended with vodka, maple syrup, and cinnamon make for an incredibly crisp and creamy dessert drink in the coziest locale! Topped with house made whipped cream and a cocktail cherry, this was a boozy delight that absolutely blew me away! Truly a buttery French toast in ice cream cocktail form!
8th THE PB&J
The Stillery - Grafton, Grafton
An incredible peanut butter whiskey cocktail with a fruity punch that absolutely makes this taste like a boozy comfort sandwich!
9th STRAWBERRY MARGARITA
La Tolteca Authentic Mexican Cuisine, Portage
An incredible (and MASSIVE!) 19 oz margarita that is loaded with flavor, masking any sense of alcohol being present. All flavor and good times, these are dangerous in the best way possible!
10th RASPBERRY MULLIGAN
North 48, Cedarburg
An incredibly smooth cocktail that is sweet yet balanced. The raspberry vodka and purée and lemonade pair together incredibly well, and make for a great summer cocktail!!! The hint of tea offers a great balance here, and this is just so refreshing I want another!
11th APPLE PIE OLD FASHIONED
Stilt House Gastro Bar, Cedarburg
An incredibly comforting drink that balances sweetness, tartness, and the tastes of home and fall. Rich notes from apple cider and brown sugar combine with the cinnamon dusting on the apple and bourbon to make a robust and complete cocktail!
12th GRASSHOPPER
Moonlight Tavern & Supper Club, Port Washington
Now THIS is one hell of a dessert cocktail!! Refreshing and sweet and superbly balanced between the mint chocolate liqueur and heavy cream, this was such a delight!! Truly hard to beat by any cocktail, let alone a dessert cocktail!
13th CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH SHOT
Oak Barrel Public House, Milwaukee
Incredibly smooth and tasty! The iconic cereal in a brunch shot form by combining RumChata and Fireball, with a delightful cinnamon sugar rimmed glass, this is a great sweet alcoholic treat to get a weekend of shenanigans started!
14th MANFASHION
Twisted Willow Restaurant, Port Washington
A very smooth and clean tasting twist on an Old Fashioned, the cherry liqueur is the star of the show here in a beautifully presented glass. Could easily drink several of these!!!
15th AMARETTO SOUR
St. Andrews Golf and Country Club, West Chicago
Incredibly smooth, flavorful, and a great balance between sweet and sour! Very refreshing and easy to drink, especially with all the happy flavors here
16th PERSIAN ICE
Bryant's Cocktail Lounge, Milwaukee
A decadently sweet ice cream drink made from brandy, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream, this was so incredibly smooth and delicious!!! A textural delight just as much as it is a flavorful treat!
17th MCFLY'S MOVING CASTLE
Station No. 06, West Allis
What a fun and sweet drink brimming with refreshing flavor! Frozen shochu, yuzu, apricot, lemon, and peach punch combine for a slushy drink that goes down oh so fast. A remarkable pop-up special!
REALLY GOOD
18th CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE
Bryant's Cocktail Lounge, Milwaukee
This drink was such a treat of brandy, chocolate ice cream, and more chocolate. This was like a boozy tiramisu ice cream drink!
19th MOSCOW MULE
Foxtown Brewing, Mequon
Oh yeah. This is a Moscow mule, and found the perfect balance between ingredients! Sweet yet packing just enough of a puckery punch, the only drawback is how small of a cup it was served in!!!
20th ROOT BEER OLD FASHIONED
Water Street Brewery Grafton, Grafton
A regular old fashioned, but made with root beer! All the flavors are very complimentary and builds to a really solid cocktail!
21st CRANBERRY APPLE MULE
B&C Barbeque, Wichita
A really good specialty mule with a balanced blend of sweet and bitter! Super smooth and just a touch of bite from the booze, went down super fast!
22nd PEACH SANGRIA
13 NORTH, Grafton
Just pure peach flavor in a crisp refreshing (and big!) drink! Peach schnapps and moscato shine through here to make a crisp, clean, and refreshing drink!
23rd PEACH SANGRIA
Lime Cantina, Cedarburg
A super refreshing cocktail! Moscato mixed with fresh peach brings out a natural, crisp, and sweet flavor here. Incredibly simple and tasty, these are dangerously good!
24th TROPICAL PUNCH
Lime Cantina, Cedarburg
A very tasty and bubbly drink! Punch flavored vodka, lemonade, and sprite combine to make a very crisp and refreshing drink with a taste reminiscent of Kool-Aid. I think this could be sweeter, but still great as is!
25th PATAGONIA PUNCH
La Masa Empanada Bar, Milwaukee
A very sweet, smooth, and fruity cocktail with a combination of orange and grapefruit liqueurs. A bit watered down from too much ice, but a nice seasonal drink!
26th CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH
Station No. 06, West Allis
A really good frozen drink special from the mixology masters! White rum, vanilla, and orange soda blended and frozen into a boozy slushee? I’ll sign for that every time! A very nice flavor and well-balanced on sweetness. Very refreshing!
27th ROSÉ SANGRIA
The Smith, Chicago
Rosé wine paired with notes of peach, cucumber, and lemon is a lovely blend of sweet, refreshing, and summery flavors. Just super tasty!
28th CAPTAIN MORGAN RUM PUNCH
The Mecca Sports Bar and Grill, Milwaukee
A nice cocktail that is a balance between refreshing, sweet, and fruity! Tons of flavors going on from a ton of complimentary ingredients, this is a great drink!
29th FROZEN STRAWBERRY MARGARITA
Superior Grill, New Orleans
A very good salted margarita with a great strawberry flavor packed into the frozen booze experience. Nothing but positives and a great buzz from this!
30th JUNGLE SUN
Robert's Pizza and Dough Company, Chicago
Crisp, clean, refreshing, and fruity, with the perfect punch from the rum!
