Written By: Robert Cox

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District, presents “Bloom & Grow in New Rochelle Downtown”, a program encouraging visitors, families, and residents to keep joy flowing. As part of this program, New Rochelle Downtown restaurants are keeping up the positivity goal by offering signature cocktails and mock-tails—with floral essences. From hibiscus to lavender, elderflower to orange blossom, your tastebuds will be delighted by the variety of floral essence cocktails that have been created by the Downtown Mixologists. With mock-tails such as Dragon Fruit Lemonade and the new Lavender Lattes, for alcohol-free drinkers, teens and kids, there is something for everyone.

Available through the entire month of June, these cocktails and mock-tails are both delicious and Instagram-worthy.

We know everyone is blooming again, and we are all so ready to be outside doing shopping, dining and visiting in person?” said Karel Littman, Executive Director, New Rochelle Downtown BID. “New Rochelle Downtown is the right place this month for some fun, inspiration–and nice drinks to celebrate.”
