Bohanan’s.
No cocktail is complete without the right atmosphere, and Bohanan’s delivers that in spades. Located on the historic Houston Street in downtown San Antonio, this is the spot to indulge in both fine dining and relaxed luxury. Whether you’re enjoying the Old-World charm of the upstairs dining room or soaking in the modern elegance of the restaurant’s bar, Bohanan’s makes you feel like you’re part of something special. It’s not just about prime steaks and fresh seafood – it’s about the experience. And with Jordan O’Neill behind the bar, you know your cocktail will be just as memorable as your meal.
Originally from San Diego, Jordan may have traded coastal views for the San Antonio skyline (she’s a Madison High School grad, after all), but her passion for mixology is rooted in her love of the unexpected. Whether it’s the fascinating world of plants (don’t ask her about taking cuttings from local greenery), or her undeniable admiration for all things Russian (yes, she’s dated two Russians and dreams of visiting the motherland someday), Jordan's personality shines through in everything she does, especially behind the bar.
Jordan’s take on the Brandy Alexander is the Oreo Borealis, a cocktail that’s as inventive as it is delicious. Jordan adds her own signature spin using Licor 43, a liqueur with a vanilla-citrus flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the richness of Kinsman. But here’s the true star of the show: the housemade cinnamon apple bitters-infused whipped cream. It’s not your standard whipped cream – it’s velvety, slightly spiced, and adds a layer of depth that dances on your taste buds. After the cocktail is poured into a coupe, a floating pillow of creamy goodness tops it off – a true treat for both the eyes and the palate.
And the final touch? A deep-fried golden Oreo. This decadent addition isn’t just for show – it’s the perfect crunchy contrast to the smooth creaminess of the cocktail.
Head downtown and visit Jordan at Bohanan’s now through NYE and dip that deep fried Oreo in the Oreo Borealis!
