As soon as the sun peaks from behind the clouds, you’ll find everyone looking to have a few cocktails outside and happy hour is suddenly more crowded than usual. Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse in Atlanta, Georgia is no stranger to cocktail culture. They are fully prepared for the occasion with the launch of their spring cocktail menu.
The Bar at Davio’s seats 28, with outside seating available on their patio. Their extensive wine list features wines mostly from Italy and the cocktail list changes seasonally. Davio’s is the brainchild of Steve DiFillipo who also owns locations in New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. This particular steakhouse lives at the corner of Phipps Plaza Mall, where we sat down with Sara Trinkwalder, Assistant General Manager at Davio’s. Sara is fairly new to the Davio’s family, but boast a 20 year resume of restaurant experience. She doesn’t quite have a favorite cocktail at the restaurant, but promises that there’s a cocktail to delight everyone’s tastebuds.
Lychee Martini
Inspired by a weekend in Miami, bartender Mark Serafin, tell us that Davio’s Lychee Martini is spring at first sip. Made with Tito’s Vodka, lychee nectar and whispers of grapefruit, this particular cocktail is perfect for later in the evenings or with dessert.
Best paired with select desserts offered.
Amalfi Fresca
The Amalfi Fresca is made with Camerana Silver Tequila, Aperol, Lime Juice, Agave, Cara-Cara Fruit and Club Soda. It’s packed the biggest punch of the three and has a sweet finish.
Best paired with Fusilli pasta.
Spring Champagne Cocktail
If you’re out for brunch, or simply celebrating life, the spring champagne cocktail is how you’ll want to do so. Made with St. Germain, lemon juice and Prosecco, this cocktail is tart, festive and beautiful.
Best paired with the Tuna Tartare.
Davio’s hosts happy hours Monday-Friday from 5-7 p.m. and host a celebrity happy hour monthly. Check out one of the new cocktails mentioned and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
