The veggie-forward cocktail craze taking over Denver
Veggies are moving off your plate and into your coupe glass. State of sips: The latest trend gaining traction at Denver bars is booze that doubles as a (very loose) salad. Why it matters: I'm no doctor, but maybe having a cocktail could be good for you? The big picture: Over the last decade, vegetable cocktails have grown increasingly popular in cities across the country — and beyond. Zoom in: Here are five local spots offering garden-to-glass concoctions: Semiprecious, a newbie in Sunnyside, serves a tomato highball and a radish martini. Lady Jane's Hare Raiser comes with carrots, while the Dragonfly offers sweet pops of snap peas. At Bar Max, the Happy Tears is made with onion-infused vodka (toothbrush and tissues not included). Yacht Club's standouts include Draped Up with potato skin, Seasons of My Heart with rhubarb stalk bitters, and Strange Design with purple carrot and fennel vinegar. Somebody People shakes up a Sugar Daddy made with rhubarb and a Freek-a-Leek with leek-infused gin.

Denver's newest bars bring handcrafted cocktails and funky flair
Denver's bar scene is heating up this summer. Why it matters: Warm weather calls for cold drinks. Here are the latest spots to get your sip on: 🍸 Semiprecious, which debuted last Friday in Sunnyside, is an effortlessly cool cocktail bar with mid-century modern vibes. The divey, yet elevated concept comes from the team behind Los Angeles' acclaimed Thunderbolt. The menu is full of funky flair, with offerings including a tomato highball, sour cream and onion martini and strawberry negroni. Drink prices range from $11 to $15. 🥃 The Whisky Bar also joined the scene last Friday as a moody speakeasy inside the lounge at Sushi by Scratch Restaurants. It's 12 seats only, and first-come, first-served. Expect elevated handrolls and stiff cocktails in an ultra-intimate setting. Just ring the doorbell to enter. 🍺 Après at Govnr's Park, from the owners of Carboy Winery, launched Monday with a Colorado-forward drink list: Broken Compass and Storm Peak beers, Breckenridge Distillery spirits and Carboy wines. It replaces Pancho Pancho, Carboy's former Mexican spot, and brings mountain town energy to the Capitol Hill corner. What's next: Two new rooftop hangs drop next week.
