Daisies

Daisies stands as Chicago’s only recipient of a MICHELIN Green Star for its commitment to sustainable practices— efforts that extend all the way to its cocktail program. Daisies prides itself on creating drinks that rotate regularly with the changing seasons to reflect the peak produce primarily sourced directly from Executive Chef Joe Frillman’s brother’s Midwest farm, Frillman Farms. Currently spearheaded by bar director Nicole Yarovinsky, their drinks team follows a philosophy of “snout to tail” and “root to fruit” and works with the kitchen to not let anything go to waste by upcycling food byproducts into their beverage program. Alongside their cocktail list, the team offers an extensive non-alcoholic menu available all year with offerings such as housemade sodas, kombuchas, shrubs, and mocktail creations, like their Mushroom Sour. This sweet and savory sour-style drink is made with housemade mushroom syrup, which is created from lacto-fermented portobello mushroom stems, and the tops of those mushrooms are used in their Pappardelle pasta with mushroom ragu. Daisies' complete N/A cocktail list can be viewed on their website.

Non-alcoholic menu highlights include: 

• Green Juice ($14): In the spirit of healthy habits, add the Green Juice to your routine, except this one doesn’t include kale or spinach. This verdant, alcohol-free drink takes the savory route by combining Seedlip Spice with bell pepper, basil, and cucumber. Lemon and yuzu are added for notes of citrus — resulting in a refreshing beverage to add to your Dry January lineup.
• Sour Cherry America(no) ($14): As the name suggests, the Sour Cherry America(no) brings the look and feel of a classic Americano — minus the booze. Seedlip Spice, a non-alcoholic spirit featuring an aromatic blend of allspice and cardamom, serves as the base and is combined with a tart cherry shrub and topped with soda, creating a bittersweet and bubbly zero-proof cocktail. 
• Steady Pete’s Ginger Brew ($14): Fans of Hawksmoor’s Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew can enjoy its more stable cousin this January: the Steady Pete’s Ginger Brew. Made with Seedlip Spice instead of whiskey, lemon, and ginger, this tangy combination is topped with Athletic Brewing’s Run Wild, a non-alcoholic IPA, creating a frothy beverage with a hint of spice.
• Grape Escape ($14): For a bright and juicy option for Dry January, enter the Grape Escape, a vibrant sipper with a complex flavor profile. The star of this cocktail is a grape cordial that’s balanced out by the tanginess of verjus, while Seedlip Spice adds depth with its blend of warm spice. Earl Grey tea rounds of the drink with subtle herbal notes, creating a full-bodied zero proof drink.
