You order a craft beer! And she orders a craft beer! And that person over there orders a craft beer! Everybody orders a craft beer on Virginia Drive!

Downtown drinking might not give you wings, but a Ciroc and Red Bull certainly does. Any bar downtown can accommodate this easiest of mixed drinks, so if you’re stumped just throw this order out and you’ll fit right in.

Stardust’s bartenders love creating organic, sustainable, locally-produced adult beverages; they churn out some of the tastiest cocktails we’ve had in Orlando. Investing in the community is what Audubon is all about.

Ivanhoe Village tends to do things a little left of center and their drinks are no exception. The Bloody Mary at White Wolf is as rich and full of character as the restaurant that serves it; the build-your-own Bloody Mary bar at the Hammered Lamb is vast and comprehensive; and the Marys at Santiago’s Bodega are gourmet delights.

What else are they going to spend that Bright Futures refund money on?

When you’ve got a hot head from driving around all the tourists, do as the vacationers do and grab a grown-up slushie. Cools things right off.

Grab yourself the best Guinness in Orlando at the Bull & Bush, then run over to Whiskey Lou’s for a shot of whiskey. A true Orlando endurance test.

Order a vodka cranberry here and you’ll see what we mean by “stiff” – it’ll look like a glass of water. The epicenter of Mills 50 has even gotten the seal of approval from Orlando’s favorite people-person, John Morgan.

Do you live to shop, dine and drink on Restaurant Row? Do you still quote lines from “Sex and the City”? Appletinis all around.

It may look pink and girly, but it’ll knock you on your ass – just like a Rollins coed.
