The Got Weekend take

Why go

At Ginger’s, the cocktail menu pairs familiar recipes with ingredients worth a closer look. Ginger’s Old Fashioned combines rye whiskey, chai and Angostura, while the Barrel-Aged Negroni includes strawberry and spends time in an amontillado sherry-cured barrel. Both the classic-inspired and house cocktail sections are priced at $20. Among the house drinks, Fromage a Trois mixes brie-washed vodka with cranberry sauce, Cointreau and lime. The subterranean East Quarter lounge describes its setting as refined and glamorous, with music and a theatrical approach to serving drinks. For an alcohol-free option, the $15 cocktail selection includes the Low Fashioned and Bloom 75; non-alcoholic beer and sparkling drinks are also listed. Wine, beer and spirits round out the drinks menu, and dessert options include cheesecake, red velvet cake and apple pie served with vanilla ice cream.
