The cocktails here include some of the best and oldest classics, modern takes on standbys like the Negroni and the Margarita, and regionally innovative concoctions from globally recognized bars and bartenders. Drink One for the Team offers plenty of fresh, exciting, and out-of-the ballpark flavors for even the most seasoned armchair quarterback-slash-mixologist to try.
