Cider Lowball Craft Cocktail
We believe in taking inspiration from the classics and giving them a refreshing update. Our Bartender’s Special for November is the Cider Lowball, and it does just that.
The Cider Lowball is inspired by the classic whiskey sour. Vanilla, Benedictine and unfiltered apple cider create a nostalgic and familiar flavor that’s both refreshing and surprisingly familiar. The Cider Lowball takes its name from the glassware used. Commonly referred to as a “bucket” or “rocks” glass, this glassware has also been referred to as a “lowball” or “old fashioned” glass.
The Cider Lowball is a perfect fall-inspired cocktail to add into your drink repertoire any time of year.

Spring Forward Craft Cocktail
Spring is a season of transition, awakening a world of new colors and flavors. It’s also a great time for craft cocktails.
That’s where our new March 2024 bartender special at Water Grill comes in. It’s called Spring Forward and it’s available this month only. This craft cocktail is a revitalization of the classic Old Fashioned. As a more contemporary twist, Spring Forward features a brighter and more vibrant flavor with herbaceous spring accents. The bold notes of bourbon, delicate lemongrass character and a hint of peach bitters create a harmonious blend of flavors that dance lightly across your palate. An absinthe rinse to the chilled Spiegelau glass adds subtle botanical complexity, while a garnish of fresh tarragon leaves evokes the sentiment of lush greenery of the season to come.
