The editorial take
Ruby Slipper runs a New Orleans-style brunch cocktail program with 13 named drinks built on specified spirits like Frïs vodka, Pueblo Viejo tequila, Cane Run rum, and Miles gin. Standouts include the award-winning Bacon Bloody Mary and the Rise & Grind Espresso Martini. Two zero-proof Ruby Refreshers and a broad coffee and juice list round out the beverage side.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bacon Bloody Mary, an award-winning build with Applewood-smoked bacon-infused Frïs vodka, or the Rise & Grind Espresso Martini with Frïs vodka and Grind espresso rum. The Taste of Ruby flight combines four drinks for $21 if you want a spread.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Brunch drinkers who want named spirits behind their cocktails, groups comparing a mimosa flight or the four-drink Taste of Ruby flight, and anyone ordering zero-proof refreshers or coffee alongside the table.
- When should I go?
- Brunch is the natural fit: the cocktail list leans on mimosas, Bloody Marys, Irish coffee, and a boozy iced coffee, and the flights suit a table ordering together.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Individual cocktails run $10.50 to $11.75, the Taste of Ruby and Mimosa flights are $21 each, NOLA Party Pour is $11.25, the Southern Sangria is $10.50, zero-proof Ruby Refreshers are $6 to $7, and coffee drinks run $3.90 to $5.85.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program pairs a New Orleans-style brunch format with a full cocktail menu rather than a standalone bar. Two Bloody Mary variants carry an award-winning label, the recipes name specific spirits, and the flights package the list into shareable comparisons.
