The editorial take
The Jackrabbit Lounge's cocktail menu is the main event, running from a basil-vodka house original to tiki classics with house-made orgeat. A hidden off-menu list adds more drinks, and the nonalcoholic section is equally serious. Beer is limited but includes Guinness on tap. Customers single out the mezcal margarita and mai tai.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Mai Tai, built with white rum, house-made orgeat, dry curaçao, lime, and a Goslings float. The Mezcal Margarita, pairing mezcal with blanco tequila and agave, is a customer favorite. For something off-menu, ask about the hidden drink list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
