Sure, just about any cold drink will quench your thirst on a hot day, but how about please your palate? This summer we're going out on a limb and sipping some of the more adventurous summer cocktails from top Chicago bars and restaurants. From new spins on old favorites to grown-up versions of childhood throwbacks, these are the drinks to be seen sipping this summer.

Tavern At The Park

The smooth-as-honey Bee's Knees ($12) from this upscale tavern overlooking Millennium Park is concocted with Woodford Reserve bourbon, organic honey syrup and a splash of fresh lime juice for balance. It may taste sweet, but make no mistake: Drink one too many and you'll feel the sting.
