Stella’s Elixir Lounge is turning five this December, and their new menu celebrates half a decade of their most alluring elixirs. Opened at the end of 2020 on the tail end of a pandemic, Stella’s quickly became a downtown staple for elevated nightlife. With each season, they've introduced new cocktails, but in honor of this milestone anniversary, they're bringing back the most iconic sips—names the regulars know well: Kate Moss, Smoking Gun, and The Purple Diary, to name a few.
Wanting to create a private space for special celebrations, both corporate and social, Panzica opened The Blind Tiger, an upscale event venue designed for connection and creativity. Last year, she introduced The Blind Reindeer, the first of several seasonal pop-ups hosted at The Blind Tiger. The concept instantly became a holiday favorite, blending festive décor, imaginative cocktails, and the same elevated experience guests have come to expect from Stella’s.
As an expert in the industry, owner Angela Panzica, has rounded up a few of her fan favorites to put you in the holiday mood this season!

SMOKING GUN
A cinematic blend of Maker’s Mark, spiced apple butter, and ginger beer and finished with a smoked cinnamon stick for a bold, dramatic twist.
KATE MOSS
An espresso martini fit for the runway. Bold, smooth, and effortlessly chic, this cocktail is the ultimate pick-me-up, inspired by the supermodel’s famous request: “Wake me up, then…” You know the rest.
MET GALA
A star-studded mix of Reposado tequila, cranberry, orange liqueur, and lime with mint and a sugared rim. Glamorous, lively, and always the life of the party.
SPICED PEAR MULE
This wintery twist on a classic mule combines crisp pear, spicy ginger beer, and a hint of cinnamon for a cozy, yet refreshing holiday beverage.
SWEATER WEATHER
Cozy up to this White Russian remix. Cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves add a seasonal warmth that feels like your favorite holiday sweater in a glass.
PURPLE DIARY
This sultry sip nods to old Hollywood scandal. Blackberry and lemon mingle in a sinful vodka base, as mysterious and alluring as the diary that inspired it.
