The editorial take

MAZE Cocktail Lounge runs a serious cocktail program with a seven-item specialty list, ten classics, and a rotating holiday menu. The Solar Fizz leads a lineup that leans citrus-forward and floral. Weekly specials like $2 Tini Tuesday and Fizzy Thursdays keep the calendar busy. Sunday bubbly bottles offer a low-key wine option.

What should I order?
Start with the Solar Fizz, a Patrón Reposado, lavender, grapefruit soda, and Prosecco composition that shows the house style. For something boozier, the Old Forester Whiskey Sour is a dependable classic. Holiday menus add lower-priced options like Coquito at $12.
