Four Mediterranean-Inspired Cocktails You Should Order in the Seaport

Ouzo Lemonade at Committee

Committee, a modern ouzeri-style spot, offers an Ouzo Lemonade perfect for warm Seaport evenings. The cocktail is a blend of: 

• Ouzo is an anise-flavored Greek liquor with strong licorice notes.
• Fresh-squeezed lemon juice that delivers tartness to balance the cocktail’s sweetness.
• Mint and honey syrup.
• Ice water, to dilute the original ouzo for a milky finish.

Mediterranean Mule at Boqueria Seaport

If you’re lucky enough to be at Boqueria Seaport, the Mediterranean Mule is a fun drink that offers a variation on the Moscow Mule. This bubbly drink is lightweight and citrus-forward. You could easily drink a few of those, especially while lounging on Boqueria’s patio or chowing down on some of their plates, like patatas bravas. It has a fantastic base of:

• Gin and Vodka: Incorporating these two spirits into a double-spirit implementation enables the depth of the spirit in the drink.
• Limoncello: From the Amalfi Coast of Italy, the zesty sweetness of lemon has a delicious citrus note.
• Ginger Beer: For spicy and effervescent fun.
• Lemon and Rosemary Garnish: This adds to the Mediterranean scent.

Lavender Lemonade at Committee

This cocktail is yet another one from Committee. It is a lighter option with zesty and floral notes, which makes it an excellent complement to the Committee’s grilled meats. It features:

• Lavender Syrup: Enhances the drink with a floral aroma.
• Fresh Lemon Juice: The base of the drink, with a lemony zing and refreshing quality.
• Carbonated Water: Light and bubbly quality.
• Garnish: A herb garnish, often, but not exclusively, mint or rosemary. 

Limoncello Spritz at Marcelino’s Levantine Cocktails & Cuisine

Marcelino’s also does its Limoncello Spritz. This cocktail is served over ice, making it well-suited for enjoying the views of the water at Marcelino’s. If you’re a fan of their tahini chicken schnitzel, this is a perfect Seaport sipper to go with that. This Italian classic is made with:

• Limoncello, sweet, tangy lemon liqueur from the Amalfi Coast
• Prosecco, because sparkling elegance is essential.
• Soda water, which not only lightens the drink for sipping but also tastes like summer
• Some lemon and rosemary for garnish, to get that Mediterranean feel!
