The air is warm, the sun is shining and the last days of summer are the perfect opportunity to try a fresh and fruity specialty cocktail!
Chestnut Hill spots are serving up some spectacular sips this summer, whether your drink of choice features vodka, rum, tequila, wine or even sake. You’re sure to find a new favorite when you stroll around this charming Philadelphia neighborhood.
Mango Margarita at El Poquito
Tequila lovers who crave a twist on the classic margarita should head to El Poquito for a fresh and fruity mango marg. Mango essence is added to the original margarita base, making it a must-try while the temps are still soaring. 8201 Germantown Ave., (267) 766-5372
Strawberry Crush at Paris Bistro & Jazz Café
Another fun, fruity option is Paris Bistro’s Strawberry Crush cocktail. The drink starts with sparkling wine and adds strawberries, lemon and mint to the mix for the ideal brunch drink—but you definitely don’t need to limit yourself to just midday enjoyment. 8229 Germantown Ave., (215) 242-6200
Caipirinha at Campbell’s Place
Keep the spirit of the 2016 Summer Olympics going with cachaça rum, muddled lime and sugar, which intermingle in this Brazilian cocktail. One sip and you’ll immediately be transported to the warm, sandy beaches of Rio. Not a fan of rum? Try the homemade sangria! 8337 Germantown Ave., (215) 242-1818
Osakatini at Osaka
Sake fans, this one’s for you. The Osakatini puts a spin on Junmai sake by adding a few touches of house vodka and topping it off with a crisp cucumber garnish. The end result is a simple cocktail with an upscale twist. 8605 Germantown Ave., (215) 242-5900
