If the size of one’s morning-after headache is an accurate indicator of the tastiness, quality, and sneaky potency of one’s night-before beverages, then Bomboa has itself a winning cocktail menu. From the " Trixitini " (vodka, Chambord, lime juice, and Champagne, $10) to the raspberry-lime ricky (raspberry vodka, lime, sugar, and lemon-lime soda, $7.50) and the " Stumbling Islander " (three rums and tropical juices, $8) to the " Blue Velvet " (Bombay Sapphire, triple sec, blue curaçao, lemon and lime juices, and simple syrup, $8), Bomboa’s liquid delights are understandably one of the restaurant’s biggest draws. (Of course, the fact that the delectable cocktails are paired with a menu of seductive French-Latin food doesn’t hurt, either.)
Just do yourself a favor and pace yourself. With drinks this good, that morning-after headache could last all day.
