Beyond the thrilling performances and captivating stories, Broadway shows offer an additional layer of enjoyment with themed cocktails that perfectly complement the theatrical experience. The vibrant and energetic jukebox musical “& Juliet,” currently playing at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, is no exception. Audience members can indulge in a range of expertly crafted drinks that enhance the show’s festive atmosphere.
A recent matinee of “& Juliet,” a modern retelling of Shakespeare’s classic love story with a twist, provided theatergoers with the chance to enjoy thematic cocktails inspired by the show’s pop anthems. With hits like “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” and “Baby One More Time,” the musical is a true celebration of music and love. The available drinks, named in playful reference to these songs, add an extra layer of fun to the experience.
One standout option is the vodka-based cocktail named “Shake the Ground,” a nod to Katy Perry’s hit “Roar.” This crowd-favorite combines ginger, lime, guava, and mint to create an easy-to-sip concoction. Served in a charming sippy cup, the drink’s appealing pink hue and prominent ginger flavor make it a delightful choice that perfectly captures the musical’s energy.
For fans of Ariana Grande and The Weeknd, the “Head in the Clouds” cocktail is a must-try. Named after a medley of their songs in the show, this refreshing take on a gin and tonic features Hendrick’s gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon, tonic, and cucumber syrup. With its blend of flavors and a nod to the musical’s highlights, this cocktail is sure to be a hit with gin enthusiasts.
Incorporating these themed cocktails into the Broadway experience adds an extra layer of excitement and immersion for theatergoers. By expertly crafting drinks that mirror the show’s energy and themes, “& Juliet” enhances the overall enjoyment of its audiences.
