The editorial take
The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille runs a beverage program with a broad cocktail menu, a dedicated Spirits section, and a separate non-alcoholic list. Cocktails cover classics, margaritas, crushes, spritzes, sangrias, and martinis, with named brands such as Tito's, Wild Turkey 101, Espolòn, and Patrón. The Spirits section lists vodka, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rye, tequila, mezcal, rum, gin, brandy, cognac, and liqueurs. Non-alcoholic options include zero-proof cocktails and canned NA beer.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Old Fashioned, made with Wild Turkey 101, Angostura bitters, and a Luxardo cherry. For something fruit-forward, the Passion Fruit Paloma uses Espolòn Blanco and can be upgraded with Montelobos Joven Mezcal. The Perfect Patrón Rita is a straightforward margarita with Patrón Additive-Free Silver Tequila. If avoiding alcohol, the Cucumber Fresca is a zero-proof cocktail with Seedlip notas de agave, cucumber, fresh lime, and monin agave nectar.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups looking for a wide cocktail selection with recognizable spirit brands will find plenty here. The margarita and Crush sections suit those who prefer fruit-forward drinks, while the Spirits section offers choices for whiskey, tequila, rum, and gin drinkers. The non-alcoholic list gives zero-proof drinkers more than a token option.
- When should I go?
- The Crush of the Month promotion makes a seasonal visit worthwhile, with September's Blueberry Lemon Crush available at $6. The broad menu works for casual gatherings or game-day outings when a mixed group wants different drink styles.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Crush of the Month is promoted at $6, though it is noted at $8 at The Greene Turtle Tampa, FL, and excludes Aberdeen, Brandywine, Burtonsville, and La Plata. Other cocktail and spirits prices are not listed in the provided menu details.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program pairs a broad cocktail list with a dedicated Spirits section that spans vodka, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rye, tequila, mezcal, rum, gin, brandy, cognac, and liqueurs. A monthly Crush of the Month adds a rotating seasonal cocktail, and the non-alcoholic list includes both zero-proof cocktails and canned NA beer.
