If You've Got $5, I've Got The Footlong

Okay, you got me. I don't have any subway sandwiches, but if you've got $12, then I have 3 delicious drinks for you to choose from. They are overpriced, ultra girly and since they all three go down the hatch waaaay too easily, they taste even better when someone else pays for them. Boys, hold onto those wallets! As I'm wrapping up my last days here in Boston, I'm savoring a few of these drinks along the way because even though they're pricey, they are worth every penny.

The Dancing Bear Martini - $12
Charlesmark Hotel - Copley Square


Here's the official description of the drink:
Inspired by the Grateful Dead and garnished with a rainbow skewer of Gummy Bears, this drink is a long, strange sip, indeed, a mix of Svedka Citrus, pomegranate liqueur, limoncello, and a splash of fruit juice.
All I have to say is forget olives and pass the gummy bears please! Also, the bartenders are nice and will give you extra gummy bears and not kick you out when you set things on fire... but that's another story all together. Also, the bathroom has a shower - useful information, I know.


Raspberry Mojito - $12
Dillon's - Back Bay


How, how, how do I not have picture of this glorious drink? The raspberry mojito is my go to summertime drink. Picture a refreshing traditional minty mojito, now add fresh muddled raspberries, an overpriced bar tab and there you go. Actually, I'd really prefer the Raspberry Mojito from The News - they adorned the drink with a rock candy swizzle stick. Are we seeing a theme here in my beverage choices? Sadly though, The News is no longer with us. R.I.P. rock candy and free ladies night dinner.

6B Martini - $9
6B Lounge - Beacon Hill


Last on the list is
the 6B:
A fruit-based concoction of peach, apple and Kurant vodkas, enhanced with fresh pineapple juice, white peach juice, and mango fruit.
Named after the bar, I guess I'm not the only one who thinks this drink is fantastic. 6B is a perfect place to start your night. There's never a crowd and, at a mere $9 a pop, you can afford to try out a few of their tasty 'tinis.
