We’re proud to announce our new cocktail list is in full-swing for the autumn season at Scarlet Oak Tavern. Under the direction and creativity of Beverage Director, Dave Werthman, our new cocktail rollout features some new and unusual concoctions that pay homage to the craft cocktail movement, alongside some old standby’s that our guests absolutely love. We’re taking several new approaches to incorporate ingredients made from scratch that you just won’t find at any other restaurant on the South Shore. Scarlet Oak Tavern is staking its claim in the Golden Age of American bartending thanks to Dave and our talented bar staff.

Scroll down to learn more about some of our lovely libations. We’ll be updating you periodically about the different cocktails available all season long.

We absolutely love the fall season when the oak trees turn Scarlet in Hingham. Getting into the Halloween spirit, we’ve dedicated the local history to the Sleepy Hollow, a beverage featuring a pop of Concord grape and citrus vodka topped with AJ Stephens ginger beer. Concord, MA is the home of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, home to some of the United States’ greatest authors and thinkers on “Author’s Ridge.” We encourage a good transcendental conversation over one of these drinks.

“The Vale of Shadows is a dimension that is a dark reflection, or echo, of our world […] it is right next to you, and you do not even see it.” Could this be the Upside Down? You might not think that Don Julio Reposado and Campari could work together, but they make wonderful companions to defeat the Demogorgon (or a hard week’s work at the office). Grapefruit and tamarind give power to the smooth and subtle flavors of reposado tequila. Perhaps your own investigation into this otherworldly cocktail will bring you adventures in Stranger Things…

Berkshire Mountain Distillery makes an exceptional Ethereal Gin that we use in our botanical In the Ether cocktail. Italian liqueurs Dimmi and Luxardo Maraschino introduce a candied rhubarb and nutty cherry flavor before a garnish of burnt rosemary. If you hear a crackle and smell the herbal simplicity of rosemary, somebody near you is about to enter the Ether!
