Scampo Celebrates Eight Years...Over Cocktails

Celebrating its eighth anniversary, Scampo has debuted a specialty cocktail menu with their greatest hits since opening in 2008. With Lydia Shire at the helm as chef and owner, Scampo has received a myriad of distinctions of excellence over the years ranging from Esquire’s “Best New Restaurants” in 2008 to most recently The Daily Meal’s “101 Best Restaurants in America” in 2016.

The special supplementary cocktail menu – titled “Rock Stars: Cheers to Eight Years” – will be available through June and features Scampo’s bestselling cocktail from each year since it has been open. The throwback craft cocktails will be shaken up as follows:

2008: Fresca with rosemary-infused grapefruit vodka and elderflower
2009: Cranberry Spritz with Angel’s Envy, cranberry juice, fresh orange juice, Aperol and a splash of prosecco
2010: Scampo Margarita with tequila, blood orange, agave and lime
2011: Pop Tart with Leblon Cachaça, Framboise, muddle strawberries, lime and brown sugar
2012: Scampo Bellini with rosé champagne and fresh peach
2013: Scampo Lemonade with vodka, fresh raspberries and fresh squeezed lemonade
2014: The Bee’s Knees with chrysanthemum infused gin, honey and lemon
2015: Spicy Tangerine with tequila, tangerines, agave and lime

Standing in for 2016 is a recipe from Lydia Shire’s vault, created in 1980: Lydia’s Mai Tai with light and dark rums, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice and orgeat syrup.

Available through June 30 during standard operating hours. $14 per cocktail. Scampo at the Liberty Hotel, 215 Charles Street, Boston.
