Cocktail Of The Month: Wild West Side @ Red House

0

This month is all about the dare, so we’re challenging you with a saucy, spicy drink. While the cocktail menu changes regularly at the lively Red House, one stalwart sipper is always in season: The Wild West Side.

The peppery heat in this tequila-based tipple—balanced with cool cucumber and mint—will definitely kickstart a dangerously fun evening. Pull up a barstool at Red House, let the unpretentiously cool staff serve you a few WWS’s and see where the night goes from there. The laidback, good-time bar has a pinball machine and a swinging vibe. Dancing on the bar just may be obligatory after a few drinks!
