Boston has a fairly burgeoning drink scene with so many gorgeously crafted cocktails, that when I had the chance to taste some of 28 Degrees' signature creations this past winter, I was SO on board.
My favorite drinks tend to be classic concoctions - Cosmopolitans, Lemon Drops, Vodka Cranberries, and so on. But I'm always intrigued by an enticing menu that goes beyond what we know and love.
{Yum - how refreshing does a frozen bellini sound right about now?}
{This awesome Elderflower & Grape Caipirinha was enhanced with muddled fruit.}
{Their popular Blueberry Basil martini had an earthy taste, topped with a basil leaf.}
{Fruity delights - the Charred Orange Sidecar and Pink Grapefruit martinis}
{I thought I didn't like bourbon, until I tasted the Naughty & Spice martini. It was so good!}
The tasting was ridiculously fun. I may have woken up with a dull headache the next morning, but it was worth it! If only cocktail tastings were as ubiquitous as wine tastings...
Poll: Which drink would you most want to try, of the ones I tasted?

Mmmmmm!! Where in Boston do you go for cocktails? My boyfriend lives there and I'm there almost every weekend and we love trying new bars.
I love me some cocktails too!! I think I've had just about all of these! Tomorrow night I'm meeting up with a girlfriend for drinks and after this post, I'm not sure which one I want to go with - but whichever one I choose, I know it will be delish!
Great post! Happy Thursday!!
I personally would LOVE to try that Naughty & Spice martini. Yum! Also, your coat is fab! ^_^

You and me both!! I've had the Naughty & Spice AND the Blueberry Basil. I like both, probably the latter a bit more. I think I would love to try the Elderflower & Grape Caipirinha next!! what a fun tasting.

Um, am I allowed to say all of them?
yum! that frozen bellini looks delicious!
cocktails are just so pretty, aren't they! i've been kind of on a st. germain kick lately. so... so good!
Blueberry basil for sure. I love a mix of savory and sweet. The photos make them all look so delicious though! When I'm at home I tend more towards margaritas with St Germain though....or champagne cocktails!
YUM! I would go for the Elderflower & Grape Caipirinha, you had me at muddled fruit. Elderflower is my new favorite drink of choice these days, so delicious added to a glass of prosecco! Great blog, now folliwng :-)
