As demand for alcoholic beverages and experiences rises, picking a restaurant isn’t just about the food. An innovative drink menu can match or even exceed food as a point of differentiation for customers. When the food, drinks, and atmosphere come together for a unique experience – that’s when loyal fans are born.
At Twin Peaks, our scratch menu is made for MVPs. But our cocktail list deserves all the attention, too.
All year long, our beverage experts research the latest trends, experiment with fresh ingredients, and perfect hand-crafted recipes that elevate the lodge experience.
Let’s take a look at some of the new additions behind the bar.
Signature Cocktails
A curated list of fan favorites and fresh takes on timeless classics, our signature cocktails help pioneer what it means to be the ultimate sports lodge.
Among the new pours this year is our version of a Paper Plane — the drink Food 52 is calling the cocktail of 2025. With a delicious balance of Wild Turkey 101, Aperol, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth and lemon juice, it’s no surprise this modern classic is soaring in popularity.
Our Mai Tai also made its debut on the bar menu. A base of Kraken Black Spiced Rum and a healthy splash of Naranja Orange Liqueur put a Twin Peaks twist on this island fave.
Yet another newcomer is a traditional Carajillo, made with Caffè Borghetti Espresso and Licor 43. And of course – served over our signature, crystal clear ice ball.
Espresso Martinis
While guests are welcome to order a Classic Espresso Martini, Twin Peaks has plenty of other options to mix things up. Our beverage team has experimented with high-end spirits outside the vodka family to innovate this caffeinated cocktail.
Newly minted are the Bourbon Espresso Martini made with top-shelf Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon and a tequila version made with Casamigos Reposado.
As it turns out, Caffè Borghetti Espresso, a little simple syrup, and vanilla cold foam is delicious with just about anything. So, Twin Peaks encourages guests to “pick their poison.”
Margaritas
Another category the Twin Peaks team has taken some liberties with is margaritas. Tequila is a given, but after that things get creative.
Our new Spicy Strawberry Margarita is hand-crafted with LALO Blanco Tequila, strawberry puree, and fresh lime juice, then garnished with a jalapeño wheel, lime wedge, and Tajín rim to turn up the spice.
The Twin Peaks Barrel Select Margarita takes a more classic approach. Served in a pint glass, a base of El Tequileño Barrel Select Reposado elevates this new addition behind the bar.
Old Fashioneds
Twin Peaks is at its best when it comes to whiskey. With rare, hard-to-find bottles at every lodge, the #1 sports bar has a classic whiskey cocktail line-up full of heavy hitters.
Rare stuff and special occasions aside, our Old Forester Old Fashioned is a new go-to for the day-to-day. It’s easy on the budget without sacrificing the refined flavor of a contemporary old fashioned.
At the same time, who said an old fashioned has to have whiskey? Also new this year is our Oaxaca Old Fashioned. With El Tequileño Barrel Select Reposado, Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal, and agave syrup, this new twist takes an iconic American cocktail south of the border.
Never Stop Exploring
Twin Peaks is proud to continue innovating our bar menu year after year. And with every indication that demand for unique cocktail experiences will keep climbing, our beverage team is already busy crafting next year’s additions.
For now, there’s plenty of new drinks to explore. Next time you find yourself at our lodge, try something new.
