Repeat after us: “VodkaBa.” Congratulations — you’re speaking like a true local. If you need a translation, that’s “vodka bar” with a Boston accent, and this little spot hidden in the back of the waterfront district’s Intercontinental Hotel is a shrine to the beloved European booze. Sit at the cozy bar to sample an impressive selection of vodkas from near and far, or catch a whiff of sea breeze on an outdoor terrace overlooking Fort Point Channel. Their terrace is best enjoyed with a fizzy, fruity cocktail in-hand, like the Spritz made White Peach & Rosemary Grey Goose Essences.

With its whitewashed finishes and pastel hues, Citrus and Salt transports diners from the office buildings of Berkeley Street directly to the Baja coast. The Cal-Mex menu has everything from tacos stuffed with butter-poached lobster, grilled street corn dusted with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and fruity cocktails like the What’s Up Peaches, a blend of blackberry puree, peach nectar, and Grey Goose Essences White Peach & Rosemary.

Nothing says “fiesta” like a whole roasted suckling pig, a lobster served while aflame, or a tower of 25 mojitos — all of which you’ll find at this Cuban spot in the South End. Owners Hector and Nivia Pina turn out the city’s best empanadas and tostones that make Cuban transplants and Bostonians alike swoon. Although there are 50-plus mojito variations to choose from here, don’t overlook the other cocktails. The Amapola — made with Grey Goose Essences White Peach & Rosemary, vermouth, lime, and hibiscus simple syrup — feels right at home beneath string lights on the restaurant’s self-described “tropical patio.”

It’s not the most famous monument in Charlestown — that title goes to the obelisk commemorating the Revolutionary War a few blocks away — but Monument Restaurant & Tavern may be just as locally iconic. If you’ve worked up an appetite after a day meandering the Freedom Trail, waltz over to this spot for snacks and cocktails. It’s wedged into Boston’s oldest neighborhood, but it’s no tourist trap: You’ll find local families, young professionals, and townies alike packed into the cozy, rustic dining room or spilling out onto the sidewalk patio. The expansive menu has something for everyone. Sip on a Zeus Juice alongside your meal; with a mix of botanical Italian aperitif and Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass, it’s the ideal refresher on a hot summer day.

You don’t need to like golf to drink cocktails at a golf course. Just 20 minutes from downtown, a trip to Granite Links in Quincy feels like an escape to a lush countryside, with its rolling green hills with stunning views of the city skyline. On-site bar Crossing Nines has a winning patio view unlike anything you’d ever find downtown. Head here after work to watch the sun set while sipping the appropriately-named Summa Feelin cocktail, a riff on a mojito that swaps out rum for Grey Goose Essences Watermelon &  Basil.

If that trip to Crossing Nines turned you into a golfer (or, at the very least, someone who drinks cocktails at golf courses), continue your South Shore golf course tour at Weymouth’s Weathervane Golf Club. This is no bygone old-timer’s golf bar; The Tavern opened in 2020 as part of the course’s newly-constructed clubhouse, and you’ll find a lively crowd sipping craft cocktails on its 100-seat patio overlooking the ninth hole. We recommend the Garden Refresha, a sparkling drink blending lemonade, basil, and Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass. It’s perfect for washing down The Tavern’s hearty local dishes like lobster rolls, clam chowder, and buttery fresh-caught cod.

Boston has far more sidewalk patios than rooftop bars, but the Envoy Hotel is bucking the trend. At the glistening hotel’s Lookout Rooftop Bar, you can truly have it all: from skyline views to sea breeze air and standout signature cocktails. It’s the perfect summer spot to stop and unwind and enjoy a city oasis. The great cocktails — like the effervescent Strawberry Fields with Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass — serve as yet another reminder that this is not your average hotel bar.

Summer is the season to visit Newburyport for wandering and window-shopping along the seaside town’s brick-lined thoroughfares. It’s also the best time to visit Michael’s Harborside, which delivers unrivaled waterfront views on a giant multi-level patio. It’s easy to while away the afternoon here sipping cocktails like the Watermelon Basil Mule — a riff on a Moscow Mule made with Grey Goose Essences Watermelon & Basil. Before you know it, the sun is setting, the lights of the harbor are flickering across the water, and you’re suiting up to dig into some of the best lobster in town.

It’s impossible not to be stunned by the poshness and opulence of Empire.  The Seaport’s young and restless flock here during big nights out to drink group cocktails and eat extravagant Asian-inspired snacks, like “sushi cupcakes” served on mini Ferris wheels. In addition to the full menu, outdoor diners can partake in patio-specific specials like bento boxes and ramen. The cocktail menu will get an update this season, too, with summery drinks — like the Strawberry Lemongrass Spritz made with infused Grey Goose vodka, soda water, and fresh fruit — making their debut.

This family-run Revere institution has been serving up seafood and Italian-American classics since 1977. During sunset, you can’t beat the west-facing views from the patio overlooking the waters of the Rumney Marsh Reservation — best enjoyed with a martini in hand. Or, once brunch service returns, bring the whole family for Sunday brunch. It features a sprawling buffet of breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes. The Peachy Pink Martini is like your favorite brunch Bellini, but better: grapefruit soda and orange liqueur get an herbal boost from Grey Goose Essences White Peach & Rosemary vodka.

Crêpes and cocktails might not be the most typical Parisian pairing, but it’s a concept we can get behind. The pièce de résistance is the French Martini. This riff on a pineapple, vodka, and a Chambord cocktail popularized at Soho’s bar Balthazar in the ’90s gets an herbal boost with Grey Goose Essences Watermelon & Basil.
