Just imagine how smooth that mixed cocktail looks as it’s poured into an icy glass. The fresh and juicy flavors have been married together, and your mouth waters at the sight of the pour as the concoction hits the ice.
You watch the rest get poured to the top; a dainty garnish is placed on top. You pick up the glass, and the sinfully delicious cocktail kisses your lips as you take the first sip. It’s love at first sight. You fall into a cocktail trance, losing yourself in the luscious and smooth taste.
Located on South Second Street in Walker’s Point, you’ll see a dark building with a jubilant bubble machine outside the door and the home of my latest cocktail porn spotlight: Black Sheep MKE.
Follow along with Black Sheep’s top-tier bartenders as they impress you with their finessed bartending skills, whipping up intoxicating cocktails like you have never tasted before:
Feeling spicy? Hell’s Bell is one fiery bright red pepper-inspired margarita that is one hell of a smoke show when it comes to taste and appearance. You get the flavor of red bell peppers mixed with the heat of serrano peppers and finished off with a citrus-cured salt rim. This robust cocktail features serrano-infused Mi Campo tequila, fresh lime juice, house-made red bell pepper juice, agave and a citrus salt rim. A lime wheel and sweety drop pepper garnish finish this showstopping masterpiece.
Looking to give your body something slightly nutritious? Have your Black Sheep bartender make you the Health Kick. This cocktail is an action-packed health drink that’s pumped with gluten-free Tito'svodka, featuring the freshest house-juiced carrot-ginger juice and elevated with lemon juice and simple syrup.
Start spreading the news, you'll want to be a part of the Black Sheep New York Sour. This lip-pucking classic cocktail features Four Roses Bourbon, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup, topped with a pinot noir float over a big ice cube for a tannic mouthfeel.
