Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at The Shop leans on a nine-drink cocktail list built with named spirits and house-made components. The espresso vodka martini uses fresh pulled espresso and Breckenridge espresso vodka; the saffron honey old fashioned pairs Rebel Yell bourbon with house saffron honey simple. Wine runs sparkling, white, and red by the glass or bottle, while beer stays packaged with local and regional names. A separate BEVS + MOCKS section covers two named mocktails and a non-alcoholic IPA.
- What should I order?
- Start with the espresso vodka martini, made with fresh pulled espresso, Breckenridge espresso vodka, house-made vanilla simple, and coffee liqueur. For a whiskey drink, the saffron honey old fashioned uses Rebel Yell bourbon and house saffron honey simple; the Brooklyn bourbon sidecar pairs Kings County straight bourbon with Greenbar organic orange liqueur and fresh lemon.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a named-spirit cocktail list with house-made components rather than a short standard menu. The wine and beer sections suit guests who prefer a compact list of by-the-glass, bottle, and packaged options. Non-drinkers get two named mocktails, an Arnold Palmer, lavender lemonade, and a non-alcoholic IPA.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $12–$16. Wine by the glass is $8–$9, with bottles $34–$40 and Veuve Clicquot at $120. Packaged beer is $6–$9, and non-alcoholic mocktails and beverages are $6–$10, including the two named mocktails at $10 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail list names its spirits — Breckenridge espresso vodka, Uncle Val's botanical gin, Rebel Yell bourbon, Kings County straight bourbon, Greenbar organic orange liqueur — and leans on house-made saffron honey simple, sour mix, and bloody mary mix. The BEVS + MOCKS section carries two named mocktails alongside a non-alcoholic IPA, so the non-alcoholic side has real choices.
