$5 Cocktail Release Party: Five New Drinks, One Very Good Night

We’ve been busy behind the bar—and now it’s time to drink about it. Join us for a $5 Cocktail Release Party, where we’re debuting five brand-new cocktails that hit every mood: bold, bright, cozy, and just a little bit wild. For one night only, every new cocktail is just five bucks, which means yes—you should absolutely try more than one.

Meet the new class.

Rooster Booster

Coffee cocktail in a glass with coffee beans on top on a ledge,

Vodka · Coffee Liqueur · Cold Brew

Smooth, rich, and made for night owls. The Rooster Booster blends vodka with coffee liqueur and cold brew for a cocktail that’s equal parts pick-me-up and wind-down. Think espresso martini energy with a little extra swagger.

Juice Box

Orange cocktail with a mint garnish on a concrete ledge.

Tequila · Guava · Lemon · Cucumber

Juicy, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. Tequila gets a tropical upgrade with guava, balanced by bright lemon and cooling cucumber. It’s playful, refreshing, and basically sunshine in a glass—no straw pouch required.

Gin Ricky Bramble

Pink cocktail with a blackberry and mint garnish on a concrete ledge.

Gin · Aloe Liqueur · Honey · Blackberry · Mint · Lime

Herbal, floral, and perfectly balanced. Aloe liqueur and honey bring subtle sweetness, blackberry adds a juicy pop, and mint and lime keep things crisp. This one’s smooth, refreshing, and surprisingly complex—in the best way.

Ol’ Dirty Bird

Old fashioned cocktail with a cinnamon stick in it.

Bourbon · Cinnamon · Lemon · Spiced Apple Bitters

Warm, bold, and unapologetically cozy. Bourbon meets cinnamon and spiced apple bitters for a cocktail that feels like fall showed up early. A hit of lemon keeps it bright, but don’t be fooled—this one means business.

Chicken Impossible

Orange and pink cocktail with anise garnish on top and salt on the rim.

Bourbon · Amaro Nonino · Lemon · Cranberry · Anise

Dark, intriguing, and a little mysterious. Bourbon and Amaro Nonino bring depth and bitterness, cranberry adds a tart edge, and anise ties it all together with a subtle spice. Complex, layered, and shockingly drinkable—hence the name.
