ABOUT

Social Hour Cocktails spring from Brooklyn's buzzing bar scene, where legends Julie Reiner and Tom Macy pour their expertise into cans bursting with bar-quality flair. Refreshing bubbles dominate. Crafted in New York using premium spirits like Perry's Tot Navy Strength Gin or bourbon, these gems skip fillers for authentic twists on classics. Citrus zing electrifies. Each sip at around 23 proof delivers balanced sweetness without cloying edges, honoring daily rituals like grandparents' evening toasts. Creamy effervescence clings lightly. Born from Clover Club's award-winning vibes, they transform picnics or lounges into effortless gatherings with unexpected botanical whispers.

TASTING NOTES

Yuzu Sunset Fizz

Nose: Crisp yuzu leaps with jasmine's floral hint. Ripe peach mingles alongside key lime zest, weaving a vibrant citrus cloud laced with subtle sweetness that draws you in effortlessly. Invitingly layered.

Palate: Tangy citrus surges forward boldly. Peach richness blends into lime's tart edge amid vodka smoothness, building effervescent waves with delicate floral undertones that surprise in their harmonious depth. Refreshingly bright.

Finish: Gentle sparkle fades invigoratingly. Lingering peach echoes mix with crisp citrus, offering a clean close touched by jasmine's whisper that satisfies without any cloying remnants.

Navy Strength Gin & Tonic

Nose: First sniff greets you with bold juniper and crisp citrus peel. Then hints of floral botanicals and soft herbaceous mint stretch outward. Underlying is a gentle trace of quinine and crisp tonic aromatics.

Palate: On the tongue, it’s brisk and lively—citrus zest (especially grapefruit or lemon) joins juniper in bright conversation. The tonic support offers a balanced bitterness, while subtle florals and a whisper of honeyed botanicals emerge. A vibrant herbal note lingers mid-palate.

Finish: The finish is clean, dry, and slightly astringent. Quinine bitterness persists but doesn’t overpower. A trailing whisper of citrus and juniper fades slowly, leaving airy botanicals behind.

Black Pepper Paloma

Nose: The aroma opens with bright pink grapefruit zest, sharp and effervescent. Underneath is a soft whisper of cracked black pepper that tickles the nostrils. Hints of lime peel and a touch of saline air around the edges round out the bouquet.

Palate: First sip is juicy grapefruit soda—tart but slightly sweet—cut by crisp citrus lime. The blanco tequila assertively arrives, herbal and clean, pushing through the sweetness. Then the black pepper heat creeps forward, warming the midpalate with savory spice.

Finish: The finish is dry and gently lingering, with peppery warmth that fades slowly. A subtle saline note remains, echoing the salt in the mix. The grapefruit and citrus brightness echo back before the pepper drifts off, leaving a crisp, dry tail.

Pacific Spritz

Nose: The aroma bursts with passionfruit and grapefruit zest, bright and inviting. Beneath that, delicate bitter orange peel and herbal aperitivo whispers emerge. A rosé wine structure offers a faint red-berry nuance in the background.

Palate: On the palate, the fruit-forward passionfruit leads, bright and tropical. Juicy grapefruit follows, giving tartness that balances the sweetness. The aperitivo bitterness aligns gently, giving a herbal edge.

Finish: The finish is dry with crisp acidity that lingers. Bitter herbal notes persist but never overpower. The tropical fruit presence softly recedes, leaving a refined, bittersweet echo.

Cucumber Matcha Mojito

Nose: The aroma greets you with crisp cucumber and fresh garden mint—herbal and clean. Underneath, lime zest and citrus oils lend brightness and lift. A subtle tea-green matcha note weaves through, lending an earthy, vegetal accent.

Palate: On the palate, cucumber and mint interplay in a vibrant duet—cool, crisp, and lively. Lime acidity cuts through gently, giving firmness and tang. As it evolves, the matcha edge emerges, bringing a dry, green slight bitterness that anchors the sweetness. Meanwhile the rum blend adds depth: hints of tropical fruit, cane sugar, and mild oak interplay.

Finish: The finish is dry and refreshing, leaving mint and cucumber lingering in the aftertaste. Matcha’s subtle earthy bitterness trails delicately but doesn’t dominate. A slight rum warmth remains for a moment, then softens into airy herbal echoes.

FOOD PAIRING

Yuzu Sunset Fizz: Sushi awakens its yuzu tang. Social Hour Yuzu Sunset Fizz elevates ceviche or fresh salads, where citrus brightness slices through briny notes, amplifying light textures in effortless harmony. Crave spicy tacos.

Try with chile-lime shrimp skewers for a complementary kick. Pair with citrusy goat cheese crostini and herbs to echo brightness and savory spice.

Pacific Spritz: Pair with grilled shrimp or scallops and citrus salsa—fruit and salt sharpen the drink. Try prosciutto-melon skewers to echo sweet and savory vibes. Serve with cured salmon or ceviche to match its brightness. Enjoy alongside a fennel-arugula salad with grapefruit vinaigrette.
