The editorial take

Anaqua Garden Bar frames its drinks around craft cocktails and botanical cocktails, with a separate 'Small Plates & Spirits' identity. Named drinks include Out Past the Orchard, Margaritas in Mexico, and a piña colada. Customers describe the cocktails as expertly crafted, though one noted the piña colada could use more alcohol and another mentioned margaritas had a lot of ice.
