1. The Classic Old Fashioned with a Twist
A staple of any respectable cocktail bar, the Old Fashioned is a timeless drink that never goes out of style. At CoVeu, this classic is elevated with a modern twist that takes it from familiar to extraordinary. While still retaining the essence of the original—with bourbon, sugar, bitters, and a citrus peel—the bartenders at CoVeu incorporate small-batch bitters, smoked cherry syrup, and even a touch of cinnamon, giving this drink a nuanced depth of flavor that makes it stand out.
The rich, smoky notes of the cherry syrup are beautifully balanced by the slight bitterness of the Angostura bitters, and the cinnamon adds a seasonal touch that’s both comforting and unexpected. Served with a large, perfectly clear ice cube, the Old Fashioned at CoVeu is a work of art, blending classic and modern in every sip.
2. Lavender Gin Fizz: A Floral and Refreshing Delight
For those who love light, floral drinks, the Lavender Gin Fizz is a must-try. This cocktail is a refreshing choice for anyone who wants something crisp yet complex. Made with gin, lavender syrup, lemon juice, and topped with soda water, it’s the perfect balance of botanical and bright flavors. The lavender syrup gives the drink an aromatic fragrance that’s both soothing and energizing, while the lemon adds a zesty kick that keeps things lively.
The fizz from the soda water and the floral notes of the lavender make this cocktail both refreshing and easy to drink—ideal for a warm evening or a relaxed night with friends. Garnished with a sprig of fresh lavender, this drink is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink.
3. Mezcal Paloma: Smoky Meets Citrusy
For those who love a little adventure in their drink, the Mezcal Paloma offers a bold and smoky twist on a traditional favorite. The Paloma is already a beloved cocktail made with tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime, but CoVeu adds mezcal into the mix for an exciting depth of flavor. Mezcal, with its smoky, earthy undertones, transforms this classic cocktail into something truly unique. The grapefruit and lime are still the stars, offering a refreshing, citrusy base, but the mezcal’s smokiness adds complexity that elevates the drink.
Topped with a salted rim and garnished with a slice of grapefruit, the Mezcal Paloma is the perfect choice for someone looking to try something new while still enjoying a familiar flavor profile. It’s a bold drink that’s full of character and will have you coming back for more.
4. Citrus Basil Smash: Herbaceous and Vibrant
The Citrus Basil Smash is a cocktail that brings together the best of fresh herbs and bright citrus. This drink is a crowd-pleaser, combining muddled fresh basil with lemon, lime, and a splash of citrus vodka. The basil provides a beautiful, fragrant herbal note that complements the tangy citrus, making each sip feel refreshing and light. The addition of a touch of ginger beer gives the drink a bit of effervescence, making it perfect for a warm evening or as a pre-dinner cocktail.
What makes this drink stand out is its ability to balance the sharpness of the citrus with the earthiness of the basil, creating a cocktail that feels both familiar and exciting. It’s an ideal choice for anyone looking for a cocktail that’s not too sweet but still packed with flavor.
5. Smoked Pineapple Margarita: Tropical and Bold
The Smoked Pineapple Margarita at CoVeu is a perfect fusion of tropical sweetness and smoky depth. This drink takes the classic margarita, made with tequila, lime, and triple sec, and adds a layer of smoked pineapple, transforming it into something truly extraordinary. The smoky pineapple offers a rich, caramelized flavor that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the lime and the smoothness of the tequila.
The result is a drink that is at once refreshing and bold, with a subtle complexity that you’ll want to savor with each sip. The smoky notes are never overpowering but add a unique twist that distinguishes this margarita from others. Served on the rocks with a salted rim, the Smoked Pineapple Margarita is an ideal drink for those who love tropical flavors with a little bit of adventure.
6. The Negroni: Bitter, Balanced, and Beautiful
The Negroni is a cocktail that has made a major resurgence in recent years, thanks to its bold, bitter flavor and simple ingredients. At CoVeu, the classic Negroni gets a little extra flair. Made with gin, Campari, and vermouth rosso, the drink is traditionally known for its bitter bite, but CoVeu’s version offers a slight twist to the formula.
Using small-batch, high-quality gin and house-made vermouth, CoVeu enhances the Negroni’s flavor profile, adding depth and complexity while maintaining its signature bitterness. A twist of orange peel garnishes the drink, adding a citrusy finish that balances out the richness of the Campari. Whether you’re an experienced cocktail drinker or a newcomer to the Negroni, this version is sure to impress.
7. The Whiskey Sour with Honey and Thyme
If you’re a fan of whiskey-based cocktails, CoVeu’s Whiskey Sour with Honey and Thyme is a must-try. This twist on the classic Whiskey Sour uses honey syrup and fresh thyme to add warmth and depth to the drink. The honey provides a natural sweetness that beautifully balances the tart lemon juice, while the thyme adds a hint of herbal complexity that brings the drink to life.
The result is a cocktail that feels both comforting and sophisticated, perfect for sipping slowly while enjoying the ambiance of CoVeu Drinkery. Served with a garnish of thyme sprigs and a lemon wheel, this drink is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste buds.
