GREAT WEEKENDS BEGIN HERE

RoCA's cocktails are as tasty as they are presentable. On the left is the Lavender Love Potion # 9, described below.

A Cocktail Worth A Visit — Again and Again   

While some craft cocktails in the city are fun novelty acts—nice to try, but not always worth a revisit—the Lavender Love Potion # 9 (left in the photo above) at RoCA is a keeper. A refreshing, lilac-colored beauty, this sip combines crème de violette, St. Germain, lime juice and prosecco for one of our craft cocktail scene’s most inspired concoctions. Be sure to stick around while you stop by this weekend for chef Aaron Holt’s equally inspired shared plates menu.
