Soaring Bottle Cocktails

Bottles aren’t just for beer anymore. At UP on the Roof, we’re serving handcrafted cocktails in totally Instagrammable clear glass bottles. Check out a few of our favorites:

Mint to Be:

You can’t go wrong with a beverage as refreshing as this one. We’ve combined rum, cucumber water, fresh lime juice, mint-infused honey syrup, lemon bitters, and club soda for a bubbly concoction that perfectly balances sweet and tart.

Barrel of Monkeys:

This libation is just as fun to drink as it sounds! Monkey Shoulder scotch—hence the name—Campari, sweet vermouth, blackberry puree, and plum bitters all play off each other in this sweet-yet-smoky cocktail.

It’s Strawberry Thyme:

As the name suggests, the classic summertime combo of strawberries and fresh thyme star in this cocktail made with gin, cointreau, and a hint of lemon sour. As a result, this bright pink drink achieves a whimsical look and comes bursting with flavor.

Elevated Classics

We always aim high when it comes to creating cocktails, and the evidence is in our signature drinks. You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world with one of these in your hand:

My Tie Remedy:

If you’re all about tiki vibes this summer, you’ll love our bubbly twist on the classic Mai Tai. In addition to white and dark rums, pineapple and orange juices, and Orgeat almond syrup, we also included ginger ale for a fizz that almost sounds like the ocean waves.

And if tiki vibes are your thing, be sure to check out UP on the Roof during the month of August 2021 for our Surf’s Up Pop-Up Tiki Bar. We’re serving up island-inspired cocktails, fishbowls, frozen drinks as well as S.O.S. Shots and Boozy Pops. You won’t want to miss it!

To “Quila” Mockingbird:

For a cocktail with a little extra kick, try our tequila-based specialty containing creme de violette, lime juice, and jalapeno ginger simple syrup that brings the perfect hint of heat to enjoy under the South Carolina sun.

Up in the Air:

Of course, we can’t forget the drink that embodies our rooftop atmosphere. This vodka-based aperitif boasts seasonal flavors of elderflower—courtesy of St. Germain—blackberry, lemon, and cool mint.
