The editorial take
The Original Vazzy's pairs a 12-cocktail Signature list with a 12-martini roster, all at $12. The Passion Fruit Margarita and Maple Old Fashioned lead the spirits-forward lineup, while THE BEST Espresso Martini uses fresh Illy espresso. Wine spans six countries by glass and bottle; craft beer runs from Fiddlehead IPA to Allagash White. Local Foxon Park soda covers the nonalcoholic side.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Passion Fruit Margarita, built on Don Julio Blanco with Chinola liqueur and a salted rim. For bourbon drinkers, the Maple Old Fashioned uses Bulleit and maple syrup. The THE BEST Espresso Martini, made with fresh Illy espresso, is the named martini to try.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail drinkers who want variety at a single price point, and wine fans seeking familiar labels like Kendall-Jackson and Santa Margherita by the glass. Craft beer enthusiasts will find New England IPAs alongside national staples.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are uniformly $12. Wine runs $8 to $14 per glass and $32 to $46 per bottle, so a round of drinks lands in the mid-teens per person before food.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The dual cocktail sections—12 signatures and 12 martinis—give the bar unusual range, with the espresso martini made from fresh Illy espresso. Local Foxon Park soda adds a regional nonalcoholic option.
