Escape the Heat in T. Cook’s Lounge This Summer!

Whether you live in Phoenix / Scottsdale or are vacationing in Arizona this summer, T. Cook’s lounge is the perfect oasis to relax and catch up with life.  Sit outside and enjoy a nice glass of wine from our award-winning wine list while taking in the scenic mountain and courtyard views.  Or unwind with a chilled cocktail listening to live music in our lounge.  If you can't make it here, bring the T. Cook's experience to you with our Creamsicle Martini recipe.

T. Cook’s recently won Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence 2010 for the 10th year in a row!  Our wine list is quite extensive (16 pages!) and is designed to encourage diners to be adventurous.  T. Cook’s Beverage Manager, Matthew Weston, explains the idea behind offering such a large wine selection.  “We want you to have fun with our list.  We want you to try new flavors and varieties and leave with a new experience.”

Join us and sample a red or white from our wine list, or try T. Cook’s featured drink for the month of June: The Creamsicle.  This martini takes the classic Dreamsicle ice cream treat and turns it into a smooth, creamy cocktail that is perfect on a hot Arizona evening.

Creamsicle Martini Recipe:

  • 1 ½ ounces orange Grey Goose
  • 1 ounce Grand Marnier
  • ½ ounce Half & Half or heavy cream
  • ½ ounce milk
  • Splash of simple syrup

Combine all ingredients in a drink shaker with ice and shake vigorously.  Strain into a martini glass and garnish with an orange peel.

T. Cook’s offers a great Phoenix Happy Hour on Sundays through Fridays with half priced appetizers and nightly drink specials from 5-7pm.  On Tuesday through Saturday evenings, we offer live music in the lounge and courtyard beginning at 7pm.  Call T. Cook’s directly at 602-808-0766 or visit T. Cook’s online for more information!
