Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program runs across a dinner and lunch list, a happy hour, a poolside menu, and a coffee shop, and the through-line is Asian-ingredient cocktails: Japanese gin, shochu, oolong, yuzu, and five spice show up in signature drinks priced $16–$18. Sake gets real attention, with junmai, honjozo, ginjo, sparkling, and nigori styles by the bottle. Wine and beer cover the standard formats without much risk.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Fun-Tini — Oka Japanese gin, vermouth, house pickled shiitake, white pepper — or the Hong Kong Old Fashioned, built on Japanese whisky with tamarind-black vinegar caramel. For something lighter, the Li Chi Sour uses Mizu lemongrass shochu with chrysanthemum, lychee, and lemon.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want cocktails built on Japanese gin, shochu, and oolong rather than a standard sour template, and anyone pairing a meal with sake by the bottle. Zero-proof drinkers get a dedicated section and a coffee shop, not an afterthought.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window, with cocktails at $8–$9, wine at $9 a glass, and draft beer at $4. The poolside menu runs its own cocktail and beer list at Bodega, and the coffee shop covers daytime drinking.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Signature cocktails run $16–$18 at dinner and lunch, dropping to $8–$9 at happy hour. Wine by the glass is $15–$23, bottles $40–$110. Sake bottles span $12–$120. Poolside cocktails are $16–$17.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Cocktails lean on Japanese gin, shochu, oolong, yuzu, and five spice, and the sake list spans five styles from junmai through nigori. The Tigresso Marteani donates $1 per order to the Parkinson's Association of Southwest Florida.
