What Makes Our Craft Cocktails Different at The Local

When it comes to drinks, there’s a big difference between one that is simply made versus one that is thoughtfully created. At the Local on Morford, our approach to craft cocktails is rooted in the same principles that define the rest of our menu: freshness, balance, and elevation.

Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just a casual sipper, we’ve got a spirit for everyone.

How We Define Craft Cocktails at The Local

At The Local, our craft cocktails are anything but basic.

Our thoughtfully crafted drinks deliver:

• Delicious taste from fresh, high quality ingredients

• Balanced, creative flavor profiles

• Elevation that surprises and delights

Let’s take a look at what makes our craft cocktails special by exploring our new spring menu!

Our Craft Cocktails Start with Fresh, Seasonal Ingredients

One thing that really sets our craft cocktails apart is our commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our new spring menu features bright, refreshing elements and botanical influences fit for the season.

Take our Lemon Berry Smash, for example. This vibrant mix of lemon, blueberry, and Tito’s vodka is tart and bright, with the addition of cooling mint for an invigorating twist.

For a fresh and floral spin, our Elderflower Fizz combines delicate, fragrant elderflower with gin, cucumber, and a touch of honey–light, subtly sweet, and perfectly refreshing.

The Art of Balance in Our Craft Cocktails is Unmatched

At the Local, each cocktail ingredient has a purpose. Every note is intentional. We take time refining each cocktail, ensuring that sweetness is balanced with acidity, stronger spirits are softened with freshness, and every sip is smooth from beginning to end.

Leo’s Daydream is a great example of this perfect balancing act. We combine Havana Club rum with juicy pineapple, tart cranberry, citrus, and mint, creating a delightful blend that is easy to enjoy.

We Elevate Classic Craft Cocktails with Unexpected Twists

Just like our approach to contemporary food, we love putting a spin on a classic cocktail.

Our Blushing Paloma has the citrusy flair of a classic paloma, but with jalapeño-infused tequila and herbaceous aperol. This drink brings a gentle heat with a bittersweet edge that will keep you coming back for another sip.

Another surprising feature is our Golden Hour Sour. This unique combo of Woodford Reserve bourbon, juicy pineapple, tart lemon, and creamy miso delivers an unforgettable cocktail experience.
