Happy Hour: Champion of the Sun Cocktail by 2016 Beard Award Semifinalist The Olde Bar

April 29, 2016

To honor this year’s Beard Awards, we asked each of our 2016 Outstanding Bar Program semifinalists to create a cocktail inspired by a television show. Inspired by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Chris Mann and his team at the Olde Bar concocted this cheeky tippler because the characters poke fun at “fancy” gin cocktails. Featuring two local Philly products—Bluecoat American Dry Gin and Yards Brewing Co. IPA—the Champion of the Sun cocktail is steeped in the City of Brotherly Love's culture. Get the recipe.
