A fun throwback to Bar Louie's earlier years, the new ‘90s cocktails menu features eight iconic cocktails from the decade. As Brian Wright, CEO of Bar Louie, says of the new menu, “This milestone isn’t just about where we’ve been, but where we’re headed. We’re staying true to our roots while embracing new ways to connect with our guests.” On the new ‘90s cocktails menu, you'll find classics like the Long Island Iced Tea made with Skyy Vodka, a Sex on the Beach cocktail made with Deep Eddy Vodka, and the Blue Hawaiian featuring Rum Haven Coconut Rum.
