Best Cocktails and Mocktails — Patina Porch
Sip garden-fresh cocktails and mocktails with sunset views over the marsh at this laid-back Sandusky gathering spot.
Sunset, marsh views and a handcrafted drink. That’s the recipe at Patina Porch in Sandusky, Ohio. Seasons change, and so do ingredients blooming in on-site gardens. Perched on the historic Patina Creek property overlooking Mills Creek amid a collection of artisan businesses on the old Toft’s Dairy property, the laid-back gathering spot serves fresh, herb-forward sips. Add flatbreads and shareable bites. What to order? The Lemon Lavender Wren is a garden in a glass, blending house-made lavender syrup, lemonade, soda and fresh lavender clipped from the garden. Order it as a refreshing mocktail, or let Empress Indigo Gin turn the drink a striking shade of violet for a cocktail that matches the marsh views. patinaporch.com
