How we score

The editorial take

The July 2026 menu gives Theodore's a 'SPECIALTY DRINKS' section of eight named classic cocktails, priced $10.99 to $12.99. The Worlds Greatest Margarita carries fresh muddled fruit, a natural juice base, Hornitos Reposado, and Grand Marnier. The 'Toasted' Old Fashioned uses Basil Hayden Toast, Amaretto, and black walnut bitters with a splash of soda. The Washington Redskins is a savory tequila and ginger beer Mule-style drink. The lineup runs from a Texas Tea to a Miami's Best Mojito, all built on recognizable templates.

What should I order?
Start with the Worlds Greatest Margarita, described with Hornitos Reposado, Grand Marnier, fresh muddled fruit, and a natural juice base. The 'Toasted' Old Fashioned is the other specific build worth naming: Basil Hayden Toast, Amaretto, and black walnut bitters with a splash of soda. Everything on the July 2026 specialty list sits between $10.99 and $12.99.
Who will enjoy this place?
Anyone ordering from a classic cocktail roster will find familiar territory here: margarita, Old Fashioned, mojito, hurricane, and Long Island-style drinks. The specific spirit calls on the margarita and Old Fashioned give those two a clearer identity than the rest of the list.
What should I expect to spend?
Cocktail prices on the July 2026 menu range from $10.99 to $12.99, with the Worlds Greatest Margarita and the 'Toasted' Old Fashioned at the top of that band.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The program's distinguishing feature is the specificity of two builds: Hornitos Reposado and Grand Marnier in the margarita, and Basil Hayden Toast with Amaretto and black walnut bitters in the Old Fashioned. The remaining six specialty drinks are recognizable classics rather than original compositions.
