Little Rituals is a seated cocktail bar on the fourth floor of the Residence Inn and Courtyard by Marriott at 132 South Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. Tales of the Cocktail named it Best U.S. The team squeezes citrus daily and makes its own syrups, infusions, foams and ice. The Crisp Martini carries a kimchi-spiced pearl onion and a house pickled grape, the Golden Sgroppino sets mango miso sorbet in a cucumber glass, and the Ballpark Highball pairs Suntory Toki with barley tea sherry and Japanese-style peanuts.
