Jimenez, a native of Puerto Rico, brings a deep passion for his heritage and a wealth of experience from esteemed bars across Puerto Rico, New York City, and Philadelphia. His creative vision shines through in each cocktail as he artfully combines locally sourced and global spirits with fresh, vibrant ingredients that evoke the sun-drenched landscapes of the Caribbean and beyond.
"Bolo is focused on serving Latin diaspora flavors with American influences, and each of the new drinks ties into a different part of the Americas," Jimenez explains. "This menu is focused on pops of color—we want our lineup to feel as if you are walking down a street in Puerto Rico, filled with brightly painted houses and the vibrant colors of nature."
Bolo's first-floor Rum Bar now beckons with an array of innovative and enticing cocktails, each with a unique story. Sip on the "Aventura," a vibrant daiquiri riff inspired by Philadelphia's cocktail scene, or experience the "Flamenco," a visually stunning blue margarita evoking the beauty of Culebra's Flamenco Beach.
Other highlights include the "Las Croabas," a ceviche-inspired dirty martini; the "Cancun," a spicy mezcal margarita; the "Mosquito Bay," a vibrant green herbal Lemondrop; and the "Rongroni," a robust rum twist on the classic Negroni.
Bolo offers a range of zero-proof libations for non-alcoholic options, including the No Jito, Hibiscus Lemonade, N/Amaro & Coke, and the Fresh Cuban.
