COCKTAILS AND SCREAMS (ORLANDO)
https://craftybartending.com/bars/cocktails-and-screams-review/

orlando’s year-round haunt. cocktails and screams hit the scene in 2019 to give horror fans a permanent spot for spooky vibes... it’s basically halloween 365 days a year which is a total mood 💀 it’s a masterclass in themed ex*****on, where the atmosphere is as layered as the drinks.

the move: order 'the cereal killer' if you want a playful mix of bourbon and nostalgic sweetness, or lean into the dark side with their more experimental spirit-forward serves. check the corners: the bar is filled with hidden easter eggs from classic horror films.

the cereal killer recipe
2 oz bourbon
1.5 oz cereal milk
0.5 oz honey syrup
2 dashes aromatic bitters

shake it all up with ice then strain into a chilled glass... garnish with a few pieces of cereal if you’re feeling the vibe

SAVORY-UMAMI MARTINI
https://craftybartending.com/cocktail-recipes/savory-martini-guide/


martinis hitting different lately. trading fruit for funk with seaweed and miso. sophisticated move for the home bar. the martini has been through it since the 1800s but savory drinks really kicked off as we started craving more depth. seaweed is nature’s msg. loaded with natural glutamates that trigger those umami receptors. vibe check.


2 oz gin
0.5 oz dry vermouth
1 barspoon miso paste
nori strip

whisk miso into vermouth. add gin and stir with ice until bone-chillingly cold. double strain into a chilled glass. garnish with a nori strip. don't strain yourself.

VAULT 5421 (ORLANDO)

digging the end-of-the-world vibes at this orlando hidden gem. vault 5421 is tucked away inside gods & monsters and feels like a high-end fallout shelter for the craft cocktail enthusiast. it’s a masterclass in themed ex*****on where the atmosphere is as layered as the drinks.

fun fact: they have a 'wasteland' menu with over 100 themed drinks so you're never bored while waiting for the apocalypse. it’s industrial, moody, and undeniably cool.

the move: order the 'vault dweller' for a smoky, charcoal-infused take on an old fashioned that perfectly fits the aesthetic.

SPANISH GIN TONIC
https://craftybartending.com/cocktails/gin-tonic/

this one’s been around since the 1700s when british sailors used gin to mask the bitter taste of quinine medicine. fun fact: spain basically reinvented it by using these massive balloon glasses to trap all those herbal aromas.

hitting the 18th floor at ac sky bar for that orlando sunset is elite. total aesthetic overload with that skyline view and a cold drink in hand. vibes are immaculate.

ingredients:
2 oz gin
4 oz premium tonic water
lime wheel
juniper berries

method:
fill a large glass with ice. pour gin and top with chilled tonic. stir gently once. garnish and enjoy.

BEE'S KNEES

https://craftybartending.com/recipes/bees-knees-recipe/

prohibition classic right here. back then bathtub gin tasted like literal fuel so bartenders dumped in honey and lemon to hide the chaos. funny thing is "bee's knees" was just 1920s slang for being the absolute best which this drink definitely is. keep it simple and drink the good stuff.

2 oz gin75 oz fresh lemon juice75 oz honey syrup

shake it hard with ice then double strain into a chilled coupe. garnish with a lemon twist and vibes.

The “Resort Mai Tai” is a lie. 🌴❌

If it’s bright red and tastes like pineapple juice, you aren’t drinking a Mai Tai. You’re drinking a hangover. The original 1944 formula is about the funk, the nutty orgeat, and the punch of the rum.

Stop settling for the tourist version. Build it right:

1 oz Dark Rum (The Funk)

1 oz White Rum (The Backbone)

3/4 oz Orgeat (The Secret Weapon)

1/2 oz Triple Sec

1 oz Fresh Lime Juice

SAVE THIS so you never order a bad one again. 🍹⚡️
