Beth Treffeisen

During the hot summer months, it is nice to sit back and relax after a busy day at work, either outside along the water or inside in chilled air-conditioning. At Strega Waterfront, located in the bustling new Seaport District, the cocktail menu provides the perfect after work beverages served either at the elegant bar or outside on the patio, overlooking the Boston Harbor.

The Silviano, a classic summer drink, is a perfectly pink beverage for any gal (or guy) looking for a sweet and fruity but strong cocktail. Made with S.
