Creative & classic cocktails with seasonal twists, expertly blended
"The financial district’s buzzy High Street Place makes a serious case in favor of the “fancy food hall.” Case in point: Daiquiris & Daisies, a fast casual cocktail bar concept helmed by the same duo behind Fenway’s popular Hojoko. The menu is divided up between more creative and more classic cocktails, filling a much-needed void in the marketplace for excellent, unpretentious drinks in an environment that is as quick or as not-quick as you need it to be. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure style bar that can be a stopover on en route to somewhere else, or the destination in its own right. If you aren’t able to fly to the Caribbean for a proper rum drink, this reliably good bar’s expertly blended Pineapple Daiquiri will do just fine." - Todd Plummer

"First impression? There's a fine line between "food hall" and "high school cafeteria vibes," and the elegant High Street Place manages to get it just right with the exact right curation of food and drink. Case in point: Daiquiris & Daisies, an unpretentious cocktail bar by the same duo behind Hojoko over at The Verb Hotel in Fenway. How’s the crowd? This being a food hall in the Financial District, time is money. People are here to enjoy a nice cocktail, but people seldom make this their final destination of the evening. You'll get corporate types popping by for a quick libation, or date-nighters for a quick round or two before heading elsewhere. How are the drinks? The drinks menu skews fruity and tropical without ever going too sweet. The signature Pineapple Daiquiri, for instance, is a carefully-balanced blend of rum, pineapple and lime. After a steamy day of sightseeing or errands-running around downtown Boston, it might be the most refreshing tipple you'll find in the neighborhood. There is also a list of less-tropical "Classic Cocktails," and a handful of mocktails, too. If there’s food, is it worth ordering something to eat? This is strictly a drinks spot, but High Street Place also offers at least a dozen other options for snacks within a 100-foot radius. Did the staff do you right? All business. They're friendly, knowledgeable when it comes to mixology, and willing to customize tweaks to the menu to suit your palate, but they work like a well oiled machine. Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? Ever find yourself walking around a given city's downtown in search of a quick yet tasty cocktail? This smart concept fills that niche - it delivers the panache and expertise of a much more involved cocktail bar, but all the efficiency of your favorite fast casual spot." - Todd Plummer
"I sampled the cocktail-bar concept from Hojoko alums Daren Swisher and Joe Cammarata and found a deep spirits list with plenty of classic and creative cocktails (far beyond just daiquiris and daisies)." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"For expert cocktails inside a downtown food hall Dynamic duo Daren Swisher and Joseph Cammarata — who used to work together as co-managers of the Hojoko bar — are opening their own bar, Daiquiris & Daisies, at the forthcoming High Street Place food hall. Details are scarce, but drinkers will find a mix of “creative and classic cocktails with seasonal twists,” including a pineapple daiquiri and an amaro-based daisy. Those who have sat in front of Swisher or Cammarata at Hojoko or elsewhere know that Boston’s in for a treat. Spring 2020" - Terrence Doyle
"A food-hall cocktail vendor from Boston bar figures Daren Swisher and Joseph Cammarata offering creative and classic cocktails with seasonal twists, positioned as one of roughly 20 food-and-beverage options in the downtown High Street Place hall." - Terrence Doyle
