Signature Cocktails to Elevate Your Birthday Experience

You're about to finish another trip around the sun, and it's time to celebrate and reflect. So, what should you drink? A birthday cocktail, of course.

The right cocktail is a whole mood. It can set the tone for your evening and get you ready for the next year. And if you're like us, you'll probably want more than one.

So, what should you order? Check out these birthday-inspired cocktails — whether you're toasting your best friend, a colleague, or yourself, set the mood with these drinks.

Mature and Reliable Birthday Cocktails

Another year has passed, you're a little older and hopefully a lot wiser. Why not sit back and reflect with a cocktail that matches your new maturity? At our NYC birthday bar, we like these classics:

●     Rob Roy with cutty sark whisky and carpano antica formula bitters.

●     Negroni with Fords gin, Campari, and carpano antica formula.

●     Old Fashioned Hudson baby bourbon, simple syrup, and bitters.

Sipping on any of these drinks will make you feel infused with maturity and ready to meet the next year a bit smarter and savvier.

A New Generation

Classic cocktails endure because they're widely appealing, but sometimes, you need to mix it up a bit. As you get older, you don't have to live in your parents' or grandparents' world, and you don't have to drink their cocktails.

You're a new generation, and you get to create your own takes on classic themes. Your birthday is a great time to celebrate your impact on the world. We recommend these new takes on old drinks:

●     Rusty Cage with Bulliet bourbon, Luxardo, maraschino liqueur, amaro, and orange.

●     Pistachio Mule with pistachio-infused Reyka vodka, lime, and fresh ginger.

●     Lomax Paloma with Herradura tequila, lime, grapefruit, and lavender.

Want something else? Then, come down and chat with one of our mixologists. They'll concoct something that's a perfect match for your new and unique take on life.

Embracing and Celebrating Your Youth

Although you're officially a year older, you are still the youngest you will ever be again. Celebrate the joy of youthfulness with a great birthday cocktail. We recommend something simple like Casamigas and soda. Or try one of our Lazy Point NYC originals

If you're living young and wild and free and looking for a place to book your party, keep us in mind. We were named one of the 15 hottest bars in NYC by Zagat, and we love hosting birthday parties.

Toasting to Good Health

Your birthday party is the perfect place to toast to a year of good health. You can order a bottle of bubbly and toast to the health of you and your friends. You can knock back a round of tequila shots for good health — after all, tequila comes from the agave plant, so let's just go with it.

Want an actual birthday cocktail? Then, try the Volstead. One of our original cocktails, the Volstead features Reya vodka, prosecco, elderflower liqueur, and fresh strawberries. We think it's great for a toast to good health because of the elderflower and strawberries.

We also like the Greyhound. This classic cocktail features gin and grapefruit. Gin is a low-cal alcohol and grapefruit juice has high concentrations of vitamin C and antioxidants. So, you can confidently raise a glass and toast to good health on your birthday. 

Lucky Cocktails for a Great Birthday

What do you want for the year ahead? Everyone has a different answer, but regardless of your wish list, we hope that you have a year filled with luck and joy.

To kick off that theme, order the Lazy Point NYC original Knock on Wood. This luck-filled cocktail is great for birthdays or any day, and it features Bulliet bourbon, chai, lemon, angostura bitters, and cinnamon.

For people who really want to get lucky, check out The Walk of Shame. Perfect for the night before or the morning after, this original cocktail has Fords gin, lemon, cinnamon, orange blossom, and salt. If gin or bourbon aren't your thing, our bartenders can hook you up with something else.

Good Vibes

At our Montauk-inspired bar, we're all about good vibes. Want to feel like you're celebrating your birthday at the beach? Then, try something simple like a Casamigos and soda or ask the bartender for a drink to elevate the good vibes on your special day.
