The 5 Love Languages, February 2023

Each month we're bringing you new cocktails that stem from a theme or idea, and for February we're excited to bring back the annual 5 Love Languages cocktail menu. Fun fact, John, a great bartender from the Rooftop on Hotel Goodwin, came up with the concepts for these cocktails.

Each drink on the menu centers it's ingredients, appearance and flavor from 1 of the love languages.

Receiving Gifts:

This is a 2-part cocktail, like giving and receiving a gift is usually from 1 person to another. So we used 2 ingredients that are sweet on their own, combining them together and stirring with ice till the balance is just right. Served with a small candy on the side for you to unwrap, like a gift.

Words of Affirmation:

This drink tastes like melted ice cream, with vodka, Luxardo Maraschino Cherry juice, cream, shaken and served with a candy heart and a special message for you.

Quality Time:

The idea here is spending a while, with someone worth your while.

Four Roses Bourbon, Thyme syrup, 3 dashes bitters, orange zest, thyme herb pinned to the side like a sidekick.

Physical Touch:

Some people love touch, and some really don't care for it too much. This cocktail captures both moods. The honey is smooth, sweet and adheres a long time, whereas the Poprocks are noisy and explode to push away.

Lemon Vodka, lemon juice, ginger beer, honey and Poprocks rim.

Acts of Service:

Mojitos are tasty drinks that some bartenders hate to make. They can take a while and need muddling, straining and lovely fresh mint garnishes. So the Mojito is it's own "Act of service," and with that as the basis for the inspiration we did a simple herb-swap and use basil paired with strawberry to make it extra special.

Rum, 1 strawberry, simple syrup, basil leaves, topped with ice and soda water.

So invite someone special and come grab a drink and a snack with us.
