"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
"The burger at Drink in Fort Point takes the idea of a standard fast-food burger and just says, hey, what if it didn’t suck? So you still get a well-done patty (two of them, actually), American cheese, and a sesame seed bun. But the patties are made from Colorado wagyu beef, the bun comes from a local bakery, and the cheese mixes with black pepper mayo to make it a little sloppy, but not so much that you feel too messy to be in a place where the bartenders chip off ice from one giant, crystal clear block of ice behind the bar." - dan secatore
"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
