Delicious Drinks You've Simply Gotta Try at the Dog!

We talk a lot about the amazing food that is served here at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach, but the delicious drinks that our master bartenders are able to mix up deserve some attention too. Our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks has four fully stocked bars at your service with a wide variety of cocktail and shot possibilities waiting for you! 

There's a big bar inside where the air conditioning is nice and cool plus a fantastic tiki bar overlooking the lake that we lovingly refer to as the "Dog Pound." An awesome swim-up bar can be accessed from dry land and from inside our incredible pool. Last, but certainly not least, the "Woof-top Patio" upstairs has the most amazing vantage point for viewing the main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks. 

Now, if you're looking for something delicious to sip on while you're at the Dog beyond an ice-cold beer or a Pain in the A**, here are some refreshingly tasty new drinks for you to give a try.  

The Dog List
Here are a few creative cocktails that will make you "howl" with delight! 

Blue Lizard
Cruzan Citrus Rum, DeKuyper Blue Curacao, sour mix, and citrus soda

Black Cherry Lemonade
Cruzan Black Cherry Rum and lemonade. Prefer a "Cherry Pop?" Try this rum with cola instead!

Mellow Berries
Cruzan Raspberry Rum, Mellow Yello, and Razzmatazz. 

Pineapple Whip
Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and pineapple juice. This one tastes like it should be served from a roadside stand with a hula girl on top!

Sam Bar Smash
Cruzan Citrus Rum, Cruzan Pineapple Rum, Razzmatazz, and orange juice

Jimmy Appleseed
In honor of Johnny's lesser-known brother, we have Jim Beam Apple and Sprite topped with cranberry juice. Watching your calories? Ask for a Skinny Jimmy and substitute Sprite Zero. 

Skinny Drinks
Since we mentioned "Skinny Jimmy" in the last recipe, here are a few more drink ideas for the calorie-conscious. A great way to quench your thirst and still keep that swimsuit body looking good for lounging in our pool!   

Pink Lemonade
Absolut Vodka, low-calorie sweet & sour, cranberry juice, and Sprite Zero

Mango Tango
Cruzan Mango Rum, orange juice, and Sprite Zero

Skinny Melon
Sauza Hornitos Plata Tequila, DeKuyper Melon Liqueur, zero-calorie margarita mix, and a splash of Sprite Zero

Strawberry Limeade
Cruzan Strawberry Rum, lime juice, Sprite Zero, and strawberry puree

Nada Colada
Cruzan Pineapple, Coconut Rum, and Sprite Zero. It tastes like a Pina Colada but lighter and so refreshing!

Skinny Dip
Cruzan Strawberry and water with a splash of sour 

Margaritas
It's a rare person that can resist a margarita. These varieties make it even harder to say "no thank you." (So don't. Say "yes please" instead!) 

Gold Marg
Sauza Extra Gold Tequila, DeKuyper Triple Sec, sour mix, and lime

Dog Daddy Caddy
Sauza Hornitos Reposado Tequila, DeKuyper 03 Premium Orange Liqueur, lime juice, and sour mix

Blue Moon Margarita
Sauza Hornitos Reposado Tequila, DeKuyper Blue Curacao, sweet & sour, and Grand Marnier

Famous Flavored Margs
Your choice of strawberry, mango, raspberry, or watermelon. If it's an especially hot day, try these frozen! 

Mules
A classic Mule drink is delicious already, but if you're feeling adventurous, give one of these amazing ginger beer concoctions a try. 

Effen Mulekicker
Effen Blood Orange Vodka and ginger beer

Dark & Stormy
The classic cocktail straight from Bermuda! Cruzan Black Strap Rum mixed with lime juice and topped with ginger beer. 

Mexi Mule
Hornitos Plata and ginger beer garnished with a lime. Salude!

Kentucky Peach
The distant cousin of the classic Moscow Mule. Jim Beam Peach Bourbon and ginger beer... YUM! 

Zambule
A tingly take to electrify the taste buds! The Godfather of Zambu approves! Zambu Grapefruit Vodka and ginger beer garnished with lime. 

That should be more than enough ideas to get you started and probably last you through the entire season here at Dog Days Bar & Grill. Of course, if you have another idea, our master mixologists are bound to be able to create whatever variety of flavors you're searching for. 

Pair a tasty drink with a delicious dish from our food menu and stick around for an entire day (and night) of awesomeness at our waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks. Oh, and don't forget both your swimsuit and your dancing shoes!
