Five Cocktails From the Best New Bars of 2025

If you can’t make it to our Best New Bars of 2025 just yet, the next best thing is to try their cocktails at home. Here are five of their signature drinks.

Creamsicle cocktails dominated this year, and Daisy, in Los Angeles, was one of the bars that kicked off the trend. While we declared the flavor to be the reigning profile of summer, the Creamsicle Margarita created by beverage director Max Reis is a panseasonal offering in the canon. The inclusion of cacao and coconut add a creamy decadence that fits right in all year round, while smoky mezcal and savory, mole-infused bitters bring a comforting, fireside vibe.
