"You’ll find the city’s strongest drink at this tiki bar in Tremont. Porco Lounge’s Zombie cocktail has homemade, tart falernum that (sort of) helps cover up its four-and-a-half shots of rum. It’s so high-proof that bartenders won’t let you order more than two, and if you try to cheat by having a friend order a third, you’ll get kicked out. Dry and biting, this is the sort of drink that’s still pretty good even though it’s meant to skyrocket brave souls into tipsy territory. If getting completely zoinked isn’t on the agenda, there are plenty of other fruity neon-colored drinks with a lower ABV, and some even come served on top of flashy dry ice. When it’s nice outside, grab some of the Filipino bar snacks like lumpia before heading out to the patio, and count how many of the plastic flamingos made it through winter." - kate bigam kaput
