Best of Boston

No green apple martinis here. Only ingenious blends make it onto Rendezvous’s cocktail list: gin blended with kaffir lime and curry, vodka stirred with pear brandy and cardamom. Like the formidable wine list, the mixed drinks are designed to enhance the Mediterranean flavors on the plate. Not too staid, not too trendy, and never too sweet—precisely what we (over 21) Goldilocks types are looking for.
