Best Signature Cocktails for a Rooftop Sunset Party at Starchild
It’s hard to enjoy a beautiful sunset at a rooftop bar in New York with a tasteless cocktail in hand. Instead of soaking up the moment and enjoying the company around you, there is an undeniable feeling of something missing.
However, at Starchild, you get the best panoramic city views, with a curated cocktail menu that elevates any evening. Take a look at our signature cocktails and different beverage options that are perfect for any rooftop party.
What Cocktails Are Best for a Rooftop Sunset Party?
When you’re gazing out at the New York skyline from a rooftop bar, you need a refreshing and flavorful drink that’s easy to sip.
One option is a hand-crafted concoction that matches the exciting energy of the streets below. Starchild has just the solution with innovative cocktails that mix citrus, fruit, and sparkling ingredients.
A spritz is another excellent choice for any high-rise party. The light and effervescent aroma keeps the mood light and fun without dragging you down, like a whiskey-based drink.
Luckily, Starchild has curated a specific menu designed to compliment any rooftop sunset party perfectly.
What Signature Cocktails Does Starchild Offer?
You’ll find standout cocktails throughout the entire Starchild beverage menu. The Set List section features a Moonlit Avenues drink, made with Montauk Vodka, elderflower liqueur, lemon and yuzu, apple juice, orange bitters, and Prosecco.
Another must-try from this Set List is the 212 Rooftop Paloma. Light and refreshing, the drink is made with Tequila Ocho Reposado, Aperol, pink grapefruit, and pink peppercorn.
One of our staples is the Lychee Cosmo. This drink is handcrafted with American Harvest Vodka, Ketel One Grapefruit and Rose Vodka, fresh lime, and lychee-cranberry juice.
Then, once the sun goes down on your rooftop party, it’s time for the Mr. Lee Manhattan. Made with Nikka Coffey Grain Japanese Whiskey, Lillet Blanc, orange bitters, and Pedro Ximénez Sherry, it’s the perfect night cap.
Which Cocktails Pair Well With a Sunset Rooftop Experience?
The changing scenery during a sunset rooftop experience means finding a cocktail that compliments the mood from golden hour to nighttime.
A bright and sparkling drink is the right pick when you’re watching the sun set over the horizon. Something with citrus notes and a subtle floral tone. The Moonlit Avenue or 2112 Rooftop Paloma is what you’re looking for.
Then, as the night sets, and you settle into one of the best rooftop bars near Times Square, it’s time to change your drink to something with more complex and savory flavors. Try a drink with more herbs, spices, and aged spirits to match the slower pace of the night.
What Makes Starchild’s Cocktails a Good Choice for a Party?
Hosting a rooftop party means guests will arrive with all different drink preferences. Coworkers, friends, and family members all want different flavors and ingredients, so your cocktail bar needs to satisfy them all.
Starchild’s menu gives you plenty of room to explore different flavor profiles, while taking in one of the best views in the city.
Our beverage program also includes lots of different drink sizes as well. You have the classic cocktail offerings, alongside specialty shots for a quick pick me up during the party.
There are even different types of fun jello shots that can raise the entire energy of the group to keep the night going.
What Are the Best Cocktails To Order for a Group?
Whether you’re hosting a rooftop birthday celebration in NYC or just gathering all your friends, the Big Bowl Energy section of Starchild’s beverage menu is perfect the entire group.
One of these large serving drinks is enough for four to six people, so everyone can share in the fun.
You have three different drink options to choose from: the Starchild Bowl, Paradise City, and the Paloma Grande. Each one is made with tropical, fun flavors that keep the energy high.
You’ll find everything from Lychee liqueur, pineapple juice, coconut water, passion fruit, agave, grapefruit, and Blue Curacao.
