5 Summer Cocktails You Can't Miss
5 Summer Cocktails You Can't Miss
Let's be honest: summer in the city can be a bit … sweaty. But there's a simple fix – find yourself a cool corner at Red Phone Booth, our not-so-secret (but still a little mysterious) luxury speakeasy, and let a proper cocktail do the heavy lifting. If you're looking to swap the ordinary for something a bit more memorable, here are five summer cocktails we think you genuinely shouldn't miss.
1. Hemingway Daiquiri
If you've ever wished you could write like Hemingway (or at least drink like him) this is your ticket. Our take on the Hemingway Daiquiri is all about balance: rum, fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice, and just enough maraschino liqueur to keep things interesting. It's tart, it's light, and it's honestly one of those drinks that makes you want to linger just a little longer, especially when the sun's still hanging around at 8pm.
2. The Bramble
The Bramble is what happens when summer berries meet old-school cocktail craftsmanship. Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a swirl of crème de mûre (that's blackberry liqueur, if you're curious). It's bright, a little tangy, and frankly, it looks so good in the glass you'll want to take a photo before that first sip. (No judgment, we 100% encourage it.)
3. Floradora
4. Negroni
Ever have one of those days where you want something classic, but with a twist? The Negroni is your answer. We swap out the usual gin for a splash of prosecco (because, why not?), mix it with Campari and sweet vermouth, and serve it over hand-chipped ice. It's bittersweet, a little bubbly, and honestly, it makes you feel like you've got your life together even if you're just here to escape the heat.
5. Singapore Sling
Picture this: gin, cherry liqueur, Cointreau, Benedictine, pineapple juice, lime, and a splash of grenadine all come together in a tall, frosty glass. It's sunset in a glass! Think of the Singapore Sling as a passport to somewhere far away, with no travel required – just a seat at the bar and a senseo go ahead, let us mix one up for you. If you close your eyes, you might catch a whisper of an ocean breeze (or at least the sound of ice clinking and friends l of curiosity. Saughing nearby).
At Red Phone Booth, we don't just make cocktails—we obsess over them. From the sound of fresh citrus being squeezed to the clink of hand-chipped ice (yes, we're that particular), every detail is about making your visit feel special. Maybe you're a seasoned cocktail connoisseur, or maybe you just want a break from the ordinary – either way, our historic speakeasy is the place to be this summer.
So here's our advice: gather your friends, hunt down the secret code to our iconic phone booth entrance (it's half the fun), and let our mixologists surprise you. Who knows? Your new favorite drink might be waiting on the other side of that red door.
Cheers to summer, to good company, and to cocktails you'll remember long after the ice melts.
