Recommendations for an actual good cocktail?

Off-menu bloody mary at Dawa Bar for my wife... I'll second Nomad Lounge.

Remember that most of the restaurants have a full bar and can make anything you want. I think that the cocktail menu is usually sweeter to appeal to the general public. We've had luck at Steakhouse 71, Abracadabar, Nomad Lounge (breaks my heart that it's such a popular spot now), love the Bloody Mary at Dawa (not always on the menu, but I always ask and they always make it), Barcelona Lounge at Coronado Springs. However, if you are looking for drinks to go with your dinner on the dining plan, most restaurants have full bars and I think all can handle things like gin&tonics, for example.

I'll embrace the sugar bombs for the sake of the ambiance

Why? Just order a martini or manhattan and enjoy the ambiance that way. I wonder if they could make a classic daiquiri (not the sugary blended kind) at Beak; it is a rum drink after all.

Favorites: martini, manhattan, sidecar, classic daiquiri, classic margarita.

My definition of a good cocktail is a sugar bomb. I don't like gin or bourbon, so I'm usually drinking fruity rum drinks or vodka cocktails (in the lemon drop/french martini/cosmo style)...when I'm not in the mood for fruit sugar bomb, i get a margarita.

At beak, no. It’s all premixed and poured from a faucet on the wall like a beer. Trader Sam’s? Definitely. Tambu Lounge? For sure.
