These Hotel Bars are Letting Us Drink In Spring, Literally

There's no more telling sign of spring than colorful flowers popping up everywhere. But instead of stopping to smell the flowers, our inner alcoholics recommend celebrating spring with a flowery alcoholic concoction. Fortunately, hotels are always at the ready to indulge our latest boozy craving by putting blooms in their cocktails with fragrant and tasty results.

If you want a taste of spring, visit these two bars for flower-infused tipples.

· U.S. Grant
For its spring concoctions, the Grant Grill will mix up cocktails using flowers grown on the hotel's rooftop garden. Pick your favorite flower: the Libation Lilac uses lilac-infused Tanqueray Sterling vodka, Parfait Amour, fresh-pressed lime, lavender bitters and fresh egg whites, and the Wildflower Whiskey features cornflower-infused white oak whiskey, muddled cornflowers, Dandelion & Burdock Bitters and fresh-pressed Meyer lemon. The cocktails will be served starting April 15 with a special $6 Tax Day price. Otherwise, they'll cost $12.

· Beverly Hills Hotel
Flower cocktails have bloomed at Bar NINETEEN12. Sip on a Jasmine Bellini, which is mixed with peach puree, jasmine syrup, jasmine tea and champagne; a Smashing Rose, which comes with bourbon, lemon juice, rose syrup, orange bitters and bubbly; or an Elderflower Mojito, with rum, elderflower liquor, elderflower syrup, mint, lime juice and soda. The drinks go for $16 apiece.
