These are my absolute favorite cocktails in all of Nashville.

#1

“The Painkiller” at Otto’s Bar in West Nashville. Ron Hacienda Santa Ana Cask Strength Rum, Pineapple Juice, Crème de Coconut, Nutmeg, and Cherry. The most expensive cocktail on the menu for good reason. Tastes like you’re on vacation, makes you feel goooood. No reservations needed.

#2

The Frozen “Hurricane” at The Optimist’s outdoor bar, Jacqueline, in East Germantown. Goes down easy but hits you hard, just like I like it. No reservations needed.

#3

The Firm & Honest at Patterson House. Vodka, Grapefruit, Terra Firma, Vanilla, Egg White, and Angostura. These bartenders are artists, y’all. This cocktail is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of them! Oh, and side note, don’t forget to order the Loaded Tots. Reservations recommended.
