Cry Baby

By Bradleigh Mobley

Sweet, aromatic, and bubblegum pink, this playful cocktail is the utter definition of fun. Created by bartender Bradleigh Mobley at Bayonet in Birmingham (one of our Best New Restaurants of 2026), the drink calls upon the nostalgia of Nerds candy to create a zippy yet balanced drink that’s undeniably entertaining. Nerds are a four-in-one ingredient, adding not only flavor but additional sweetness, a vibrant color, and a touch of acidity to the syrup.
