Summer is Here! Cool Cocktails & Patio Vibes in Mukilteo
Now listen—summer doesn’t ask for permission. It just shows up, kicks down the door, and starts blasting sunshine like it’s got somewhere to be. One minute you're wearing fleece, and the next you're sweating through your shirt wondering why you ever complained about the rain.
But here’s the thing: when summer rolls into Mukilteo, you better have a plan—and not just a sad lawn chair and a garden hose misting you in the face like a confused sprinkler system.
No sir. You come to John’s Grill, where we’ve got the shade, the sizzle, and the drinks that go down smoother than a jazz saxophone solo on a Sunday morning. (But remember, we're not open Sundays, so catch that solo Tuesday through Saturday.)
The Patio Is Open—Let the People Watchin’ Begin
You want that prime patio energy? We’ve got it. You want sunshine, cocktails, good food, and a light breeze that doesn’t knock over your napkin dispenser? We’ve got that too.
We’re not saying we’re the best summer hangout spot in Mukilteo… we’re just saying if summer had a favorite restaurant, it’d be John’s Grill. Come see what the fuss is about. Bring a friend, bring a date, bring your cousin who says he’s just “stopping by”—just get here.
Cool Cocktails for Hot Days
Now let’s talk about these cocktails, because drinking in the summer without the right cocktail is like trying to BBQ without charcoal—dry and disappointing. Lucky for you, we’ve got drinks so refreshing you’ll think your problems evaporated with the ice cubes.
Cranberry Mojito – $14
Mount Gay Rum, mint cranberry jam, lime juice, muddled mint, and soda. It’s like your taste buds booked a vacation and forgot to tell your stress.
Mango Daiquiri – $15
Papas Pilar Blonde Rum, fresh lime, mango puree, Cointreau, and just enough simple syrup to sweet-talk your soul. Shaken and served up with a Tajin rim so sexy it should have its own Instagram.
Pina Picante Margarita – $14
House-infused jalapeño tequila, fresh lime, pineapple juice, agave, and a Tajin-rimmed glass. It’s sweet, it’s spicy—it’s everything your love life wishes it was.
Summer Sky Negroni – $14
James Bay Summer Gin, Campari, Carpano Antica, rhubarb bitters, clarified and smooth, with rhubarb-orange syrup and burnt orange zest. That’s not just a drink—that’s a statement.
Lavender Lemon Drop – $14
House-infused lemon vodka, lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice. Shaken and served up like it’s about to get a standing ovation.
The John’s Old Fashioned – $18
1792 Bourbon meets Glenmorangie La Santa, and they sit down with demerara sugar, orange bitters, and scorched zest to talk about how to be excellent. And you get to drink that.
And don’t forget the Berry Bramble, Cucumber Mint Gimlet, or our Paper Paine, because why settle for basic when you can sip like a champion?
Pair It with the Real Deal on a Plate
You can’t sip in the sun on an empty stomach. That's illegal somewhere. (Okay, not really, but it should be.)
Grab some Fried Calamari with jalapeño tartar, or get into our Roasted Corn Clam Chowder—because even when it’s 80 degrees out, comfort food is still comforting.
Or dive into our big hitters like:
Wild King Salmon, pan-seared and swimming in lemon leek orzo and roasted Brussels sprouts.
John’s Grill Burger, stacked like your uncle’s vacation stories but way more satisfying.
Shrimp & Grits, creamy, spicy, and impossible not to finish.
And for those of you still holding on to your “beach body goals”—first of all, good for you, but second, we got salads that slap. John’s House Salad or Caesar, with fresh greens and dressings so good they make lettuce exciting.
This Is Your Summer Spot, Mukilteo
We’re not just slingin’ cocktails and cookin’ good food—we’re creating the kind of summer energy you tell people about. The kind where time slows down, plates get scraped clean, and nobody’s mad about anything.
