Absolutely nothing is as cool as a well-made gin cocktail, so point your sandals toward the Seaport for the Sipsmith Gin pop-up bar on the patio at Woods Hill Pier 4 to beat the heat. From Thursday, July 25th through Friday, August 3rd you can order up any of three signature cocktails made with spirits from the London microdistillery, including the English Garden (Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, Aloe Liqueur, Cucumber & Lime), the Strawberry Spritz (Sipsmith Strawberry Smash Gin, Manzanilla Sherry, Strawberry, Rhubarb, Lemon & Club Soda), or the Lavender 75 (Sipsmith London Dry Gin, Lavender Honey, Lemon & Prosecco), or break a few rules with their build-your-own gin & tonic bar.

Just like a New England summer, the bar is only around for a short time, so make plans for dinner on the stunning patio between 5:00pm and sunset to catch the best sips with some epic views of Boston Harbor. Chef Charlie Foster has some standout plates on the summer menu that will pair perfectly with Sipsmith, like Tilefish crudo with apricot, avocado, lemon balm, kanzuri and puffed rice; and Steamed Local Cod with bacala stuffed zucchini blossoms, squid ink aioli, crispy potato and bagna cauda. Snag a reservation here or give them a call at 617.981.4577 to save a spot.
