The best summer cocktail in Chicago this year? Into the Pale Mist ($12) at Lardon!<\/p>\n

This cocktail is like walking through a garden while descending a mountain as a pale mist slowly creeps by. The Mizu ‘Green Tea’ Shochu is the star, complemented by bright citrus from fresh lime, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto and Fever Tree Yuzu Soda. Cucumber adds to the umami story and enhances the matcha flavor from the Ureshino green tea leaves in the shochu, leaving you with a dynamic, borderline ethereal concoction.<\/p>\n

The James Beard Award-winning bar responsible for pioneering Chicago\u2019s craft cocktail renaissance brings its signature elevated touch to the frozen cocktail movement with this herbaceous and nuanced sip. The team blends Coraz\u00f3n Blanco Tequila, Strega Italian liqueur, pineapple, and lemon with a fruit-forward Dr. Loosen Riesling base to create Friesling ($13), a chilled drink that is every bit as interesting as the innovative classics the institution is known for.<\/p>\n
