"Tucked below neighborhood lunch spot Sportello, Boston’s mixology scene is alive and well and living at Drink. At this subterranean institution, you won’t be handed a cocktail menu, but rather will be asked what you’re feeling in the mood for today (y’know, “something smoky, with a hint of spice, that tastes like Fall…”). Enjoy the large cubes of hand-chopped ice, homemade bitters, and copious fresh citrus—not to mention what might be Boston’s best burger. (And—while not exactly appetizing—don’t forget to check out the collection of beautiful hand-labeled taxidermy insects, resting in glass boxes along the back wall.)" - Branding Iron @ Stantec
"Earnest Drinks, the Kendall Square cocktail bar that is hidden inside Somerille’s Gracie’s Ice Cream, will happily spike its hot chocolate — a blend of hot fudge and milk — with whiskey, rye, rum, brandy, or amaro, adding another layer of warmth to your treat. Bonus, you can pick up some ice cream to take home." - Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
"Somerville ice cream shop Gracie’s has expanded to Cambridge, and the newer location includes a robust array of boozy and non-boozy beverages. There are adult frappes and floats aplenty: a pandan whiskey frappe, a lambrusco float, an ube coconut rum frappe, and even a build-your-own option. You could, for example, order Twinkies ‘n jam ice cream blended with rum, rainbow sprinkles, and Fritos. Choose your own adventure wisely." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Why get regular pie when you can get ice cream pie? Gracie’s default version ($28), which feeds six to 12 people, comes with an Oreo crust, hot fudge topping, and Oreo topping, but you can inquire about other options. These typically take about four hours to make, so don’t wait until the very last minute to order." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
