Jujube

Jujube's bartenders definitely know how to make a good cocktail. The whippet is a gem of a drink with Finlandia grapefruit-flavored vodka, Cava, and lychee juice. It looked like a Lemon Drop minus the sugary rim, an elegant, white gold drink with an ice shard layer that I love. The taste was wonderfully layered as well; all elements were present and accounted for and happy to share the limelight.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
My standard order at a bar that likely doesn’t make fancy cocktails? A whiskey and ginger beer or a gin and tonic. Learn more about my nightlife and cocktail posts here.
