As The Little Grand Market opens during the peak of summer weather in August, getting a perfect, chilled drink is necessary to beat the heat and enjoy all the amenities the market has to offer. Here’s a list of our favorite cocktails and beverages that scream “summer in a glass”:
- Sun of a Spritz: The name says it all – this take on a classic Aperol Spritz with Watershed Strawberry Four Peel Gin, guava juice, Aperol and prosecco is the perfect companion to an afternoon spent listening to live music in the park with Italian goodies from Frascati Market.
- Cross Pollination: Join the bugs, bees and flowers in the park for a picnic with your own pollinator of choice, mixing Watershed Guild Gin, elderflower liqueur, salted honey syrup, lemon juice and rose water.
- Lil Palmer: Do you gravitate to a cold, sweet Arnold Palmer to cool you down in the summer months? Look no further – the Lil Palmer mixes lemonade and iced tea with bourbon and peach liqueur for a crisp drink perfect for pairing with Southern classics at Taesty’s.
- Bug Juice: Travel back in time to summer camp with a punchier, frozen version of your childhood favorite with vodka, blue curacao, coconut syrup and lime.
- Daiq Street Boys: Start the party with a tropical daquiri made with rum, lime juice and simple syrup that will keep you going through the late-night DJ sets at The Little Grand Market.
- Spicy Marv: Pair your favorite tacos from Los Agavez Taqueria with this fiery margarita complete with serrano-infused tequila, dry curacao, lime juice and agave.
- Painkiller Punch: Rum, coconut syrup, orange juice, pineapple and lime are blended into a refreshing slushie made for the dog days of summer.
- Pro Tip! Order the Bug Juice and Painkiller Punch frozen drinks as a 22oz to be served in a Little Grand Souvenir Stadium Cup to keep your cold drinks cold.
- Buckets: For chilling out with friends around the firepits at the park, our buckets of beer, ciders and seltzer complete the hangout for the ultimate summer vibe. Choose from Coors Light, Modelo, High Noon, Happy Day, Down East Cider and more for buckets of five.
The perfect time to enjoy your favorite refreshments is happy hour at The Little Grand Market from 4-6 p.m. with $2 off drafts and cocktails and $10 off bottles of wine. We can’t wait for you to join us for all of the sunny days to come!
