THE COCKTAILS
Black Tap has launched a fun new cocktail menu that was created by renowned mixologist Pam Wiznitzer and Black Tap’s lead bartender Christian Orlando. the drinks are whimsical and fun and pair well with the menu. Don’t miss the seasonal Autumn Freeze Slushy (Whiskey, Rose Cider, Hard Cider, Cinnamon, Lemon, Nutmeg, Apple Chips), the Tropical Smoke (Mezcal, Red Wine, Pineapple, Lemon), a Cola Old-Fashioned (Bourbon, Cherry Cola, Bitters, Brandied Cherry), and everyone’s latest obsession, the Espresso Martini (Chameleon Cold Brew, Choice of Vodka or Cognac, Coffee Liqueur, and Demerara).

The classic shakes come in 11 yummy flavors, and the Crazyshakes come in 10 monstrous flavors like Cotton Candy, Cookies & Cream Supreme, and Strawberry Shortcake and are topped with everything from slices of cake to ice cream sandwiches.
