Bars bring back cheaper cocktails as $20 drinks fade away

Some venues cut cocktail prices by changing ingredients sourcing

As costs rise and customers change how they spend, bars are rethinking cocktail pricing. Venues such as Gus' Sip & Dip and Radicle have launched cocktails around $12 and $10 by tightening ingredient sourcing and reducing waste. The goal is to make cocktails more accessible, keep regulars coming back, and preserve the momentum of cocktail culture despite higher expenses.
