Nestled inside the Normandie Hotel, The Normandie Club cocktail lounge is serving up the fancy Spritz 6 cocktail. This low-alcohol drink mixes together Oeno Chardonnay, St. Germaine, a dash of gin, and blood orange juice. Seltzer gives it an extra bubbly kick while an orange slice garnish serves as the finishing touch.
Bibo Ergo Sum’s Sleight of Hand
Bibo Ergo Sum’s Sleight of Hand cocktail is technically non-alcoholic but you’ll be so impressed by the rich flavors you won’t even miss the alcohol. With every sip, you’ll taste cold August Uncommon Breathless black tea, white chocolate, dried plum, a hint of spice, sugary sweetness, and smoked cherry wood.
