The Art of the Seasonal Menu
Bada Bean’s bartenders don’t just mix drinks — they tell stories. Each new season brings a fresh chapter to their cocktail book, inspired by local flavors and crafted with care using spirits from Ohio favorites like Watershed Distillery. From house-made syrups and foams to artful garnishes that turn heads across the bar, the fall menu reflects the team’s knack for balancing precision with playfulness.
These aren’t your average seasonal drinks. They’re bold, thoughtful, and unapologetically Bada — perfect for pairing with the cooler weather and good company.
Meet the New Fall Lineup
From smoky mezcal to spiced bourbon, each drink on the fall menu has its own mood, story, and moment. Here’s what’s waiting for you at the bar this season.
Sunday at the In-Laws – Nostalgia with a Bite
Watershed bourbon, nonino, allspice, falernum, orange bitters, and a side of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Meet the cocktail that makes every family gathering just a little easier to handle. Smooth bourbon meets warm spice and a dash of mischief, rounded out by a crunchy sidekick of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It’s the kind of drink that takes you back to your childhood cereal bowl — only now with adult-level confidence and a bit more bite.
Perfect for: Fireside conversations, post-dinner drinks, and anyone who secretly loves a little nostalgia in their glass.
Try and Tame Me – The Mezcal Dare
Illegal mezcal, tamarind, sweet agave, bright lime, Montenegro, tamarind candy, and dehydrated lime.
If smoky had a soulmate, it would be sweet and tangy tamarind. This cocktail doesn’t play it safe — it dances on the edge of boldness and balance. The mezcal’s earthy flavor mingles with citrus and spice, finished with a tamarind candy rim that’s as daring as its name suggests. One sip and you’ll know this drink wasn’t made to be tamed.
Perfect for: Mezcal lovers and anyone craving a cocktail with character.
Pom Pom and Pigtails – Flirty Meets Fresh
Watershed Guild gin, pomegranate, mint, aquafaba, lemon, and angostura bitters.
This one’s playful — bright, refreshing, and ready to charm. The balance of tart pomegranate and fresh mint keeps things lively, while aquafaba adds that velvety finish that makes every sip a little indulgent. It’s the kind of cocktail that shows up with a wink and leaves a lasting impression.
Perfect for: Brunch, happy hour, and anyone who wants a drink as vibrant as they are.
Peacan at You – Sweet, Nutty, and Clever
Bacardi rum, Watershed apple brandy, zesty lime, banana syrup, walnut bitters, dehydrated lime.
Equal parts smooth and sharp, Peacan at You walks the line between sweet banana and spiced apple, ending with a crisp, nutty finish. It’s layered, clever, and confidently flavorful — just like its name. If fall had a flavor, this might be it.
Perfect for: Pairing with dessert or enjoying as a nightcap after a long day.
P.S. I Love You – A Love Letter in a Glass
Hennessy, ancho reyes, demerara syrup, pumpkin foam, cacao bitters, and nutmeg.
This cocktail doesn’t whisper — it lingers. A mix of rich Hennessy and spiced ancho reyes lays the foundation for the drink’s heartwarming complexity. Pumpkin foam and a dusting of cacao bitters turn it into something close to a love letter for the season itself. It’s bold, comforting, and impossible not to fall for.
Perfect for: Date nights, slow Sundays, or treating yourself to something special.
