With the promise of warmer weather on the horizon, a cute little drink in hand is cause for excitement. We’re in luck because Virgin Hotels and Hulu just released photos of their Mid-Century Modern cocktail menu collaboration that happens to be dropping this weekend!

The show, from the crew behind the show Will & Grace and produced by Ryan Murphy, features a star-studded cast—Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and the late Linda Lavin—and follows three best friends navigating life, love and reinvention in Palm Springs. The new drink menu (which can also be made non-alcoholic) definitely matches the show’s vibe.

"At Virgin Hotels, we believe cocktails should be more than just drinks—they should tell a story, spark conversation, and create unforgettable moments,” said Mary Jones, Director of Entertainment & Nightlife, Virgin Hotels. “Our collaboration with Hulu for Mid-Century Modern is a perfect example of how we bring characters and narratives to life through bold, playful mixology. From a bright and complex sip that embodies Jerry to a zesty spritz with as much charm as Sybil, each cocktail is designed to immerse guests in the show’s world while embracing Virgin Hotels’ signature spirit of fun and flair.”

Our favorite is the drink set ablaze in a parrot glass.

Made with Ketel One Vodka, cherry vanilla soda, and lemonade, this drink is “bright yet complex, just like Jerry.”

This drink is a “sharp and elegant nod to Bunny,” with Spring 44 Gin, St-Germain, Fever-Tree Grapefruit Soda, and fresh lime “for a sophisticated bite.”

This gorgeous little drink is just like Sybil—zesty with a lasting impression with Italicus, Pinot Grigio, grapefruit, and Fever-Tree Grapefruit Soda for “a crisp, citrusy delight.”

Pretty and refreshing, this one has space and flair like Palm Springs itself, using Patrón Silver Tequila, pineapple, lemon and passionfruit.

Each Virgin Hotels location has its own vibes, but in New York City, you can enjoy your drinks at Everdene, Virgin’s rooftop lounge with city views and a lively atmosphere. The Mid-Century Modern cocktail menu will be available from March 28 until April 27, at Everdene, open 3pm-midnight Monday through Thursday and 3pm-1am on Friday and Saturday.
