The Drink You Should Always Be Ordering, According To A Bartender (It’s Not Beer Or Wine!)

Looking for inspiration for what to order when visiting bars and restaurants again post-Covid? There’s no better source for cocktail inspo than bartenders and mixologists themselves! Beer and wine are tried-and-true orders, but if you’re looking for something *even better* to raise the bar (literally) this summer, we spoke to some of the country’s leading drink makers to find out what you should be ordering instead:

“A Paloma made with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice is hard to beat,” bartender Emily Lawson, founder of Pink House Alchemy tells us.

The simply, refreshing cocktail is perfect for summer into fall, she explains.

Pro Tip: “When choosing a tequila, Casamigos Reposado provides the rich caramel notes along with the bright citrus, creating a perfect marriage of flavors,” she says.

If you prefer a light, bright and juicy flabor, Emily suggests Casamigos Blanco instead.

Yum, we can’t wait to try it!
