RONIN PUNCH, JADE BAR AT SANCTUARY ON CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN RESORT & SPA
Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain is one of the top resorts in the country, but its Jade Bar is a gathering spot for both locals and hotel guests. Settle in with a drink and take in the views over Paradise Valley or have a seat next to the fireplace on a chilly evening. The craft cocktails are created by lead mixologist and Arizona native, Eddie Garcia.

BLUEBERRY MINT SHRUB FROM PARK HYATT BEAVER CREEK
This cocktail packs in the antioxidants thanks to three key ingredients: vinegar, blueberries, and green tea. The dash of local honey also helps to soothe seasonal allergies. The blueberry mint shrub was created by the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek’s in-house mixologist, MJ Jozaitis. The Colorado-based resort overlooks Beaver Creek Mountain, and offers ski-in, ski-out access during the winter. In the warmer months, guests can hike the Colorado Rockies or just relax at the spa.
