Five Cocktails From the Best New Bars of 2026

It’s time to raise a glass to the Best New Bars of 2026. For a taste of the most innovative, exciting openings of the past year, make these cocktails from our awardees.

At Peach Crease Club in Denver, co-owners Alex Jump and Stuart Jensen take inspiration from dishes around the world, from borscht to buko salad. Nonalcoholic drinks have been thoughtfully considered here—fitting, given Jump’s advocacy with the organization Focus on Health. Made with The Pathfinder (an N/A amaro) and Three Spirit Nightcap, this fully spirit-free recipe pays homage to the Southern pairing of peanuts and Coca-Cola (sometimes called farmer’s Coke). To carbonate the cocktail, Peach Crease Club uses a NitroPress, but at home, you can top the mix with club soda.
