The editorial take
Juju kitchen & cocktails pours a 15-deep cocktail list that leans on classics with a twist—house margarita gets elderflower, the old fashioned uses Roulette rye. The wine list spans Prosecco to Napa Cabernet. Community reviewers call the cocktails strong and balanced, though happy-hour pricing draws some grumbles. A solid midtown stop for a proper drink.
- What should I order?
- Start with the house margarita, a reposado-and-elderflower number that skips the sour mix. The old fashioned, made with Roulette rye and demerara, is another safe bet. For something brighter, the fraise margarita or pink blossom lemonade.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail traditionalists will find the old fashioned and negroni, while those wanting a fruity lift can grab a fraise margarita or pink blossom lemonade. The wine list offers enough variety for a mixed group.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Negronis run $13, El Diablo $14, and a glass of Albariño $11—mid-range for craft cocktails in the area.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu is a study in balance: classics like the aviation and bees knees sit next to originals such as the pink blossom lemonade and 1700 monks. The use of premium spirits—Roulette rye, Divino mezcal—gives the program an edge.
