The editorial take
Studio 1212 Cafe & Wine Bar runs a beverage program with more range than its name suggests. The cocktail list covers signatures, 13 mule variations, martinis, Bloody Marys, Russians, and skinny cocktails, with house-infused spirits like jalapeño tequila and strawberry vodka. Wine spans red, white, rosé, sparkling, and a Leelanau Cellars raspberry dessert wine. Six draft craft beers and a broad bottled selection include Wisconsin names, and a dedicated mocktail section offers four drink types at $8.
- What should I order?
- Start with the 1212 Signature Spicy Margarita, built on homemade jalapeño infused tequila with lime juice, triple sec, and agave. For wine, the Pasqua Romeo and Juliet Passimento Red Blend is the designated staff favorite. The 1212 Old Fashioned offers a choice of whiskey, brandy, bourbon, apple bourbon, chai, pecan, or peanut butter.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a single stop for cocktails, wine, and beer without committing to one lane. The mule and martini lists suit drinkers who like flavored variations, while the mocktail section gives non-drinkers four options beyond soda. Beer drinkers who favor Wisconsin and regional craft names will find several drafts and bottles.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails run $9.5 to $12.5, mules $9.5 to $10.5, and martinis $10 to $12.5. Wine by the glass is $9 to $15, with bottles $32 to $52; the raspberry dessert wine is $38. Draft craft beers are $7 to $8, domestics $5 to $6, and mocktails $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list is the engine here: 13 named mule variations, a deep martini roster, multiple Bloody Marys, and a full run of Russians, plus house-infused jalapeño tequila and strawberry vodka. A staff-favorite red blend and a Michigan port-style raspberry dessert wine add wine-list character beyond the usual by-the-glass lineup.
