The editorial take
Korochka Tavern runs a focused cocktail list of six drinks, including the Lenin Drop with beet vodka, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup, and the Bonfire with mezcal, green walnut liqueur, and pine liqueur. House-infused beet and horseradish vodkas are served as shots or in cocktails. A dedicated non-alcoholic section covers mocktails, NA beer, and NA spirits alternatives, and canned and bottled beer and cider round out the options. The program is compact and specific, with most drinks falling in the $10–$17 range.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The house-infused beet and horseradish vodkas anchor both the cocktail and spirits lists, giving the program a specific point of view rather than a generic bar menu.
