Try "The Phoenix," the city's new official cocktail
Phoenix officially has its own cocktail — a combo of tequila, prickly pear and local pepper. The Spirit of Phoenix, the official cocktail for the city of Phoenix named after the Spirit Of Phoenix contest, was organized by Mayor Kate Gallego, the Arizona Restaurant Association, and Pour Form Consulting to determine the best Phoenix-inspired cocktail. Expert mixologists narrowed down 70 entries and selected the top four, which have been available for sampling at bars across the city since April. The winning cocktail, now named The Phoenix, was designed by Nicole Long from Santo Arcadia and includes tequila and locally grown ingredients. The only other known city named cocktail is the Manhattan.

What they're saying: "The only (other) known city named cocktail would be the Manhattan. Other cocktails definitely are considered to represent states or to represent a city but not specifically named for it like that," Pour Form Consulting owner Jax Donahue told KJZZ.
