"Located within the Charles River Speedway in Brighton, Birds of Paradise is the latest cocktail escape from Blossom Bar’s Ran Duan and his star-studded bartending team. The menu is split into two sides: On one end, there’s an anchor “global” drink set that includes cocktails like the Kingston to Milan, a riff on the Kingston Negroni. On the other end, there’s a “destination” set that will change with the team’s travels. Right now, the destination is Guadalajara, and the drinks to get include the Big Apple in Lil’ Jalisco, a carbonated cocktail that ties together tequila and green apple cordial." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff
