Blush’s Splash + Sizzle
Bottoms Up
Oct. 11, 2025
The days of rooftop sunsets are coming to a close, so hurry over to Blush, perched atop the Alexandra Inn in East Bay Township, before the season ends. There, you’ll be treated to a stunning view over East Grand Traverse Bay and a delicious menu for both food and drink. On our most recent visit, we kept things NA with the Splash + Sizzle mocktail ($9). With a salty, slightly spicy rim complete with an orange wedge, this drink delivers sunset in a glass. The ingredients—red grapefruit juice, lemon, soda, and simple syrup—capture the same golden-orange hues you’ll see play out over the water. Say cheers to fall at 2227 US-31 North in Traverse City. (Note: When the hotel is full, Blush parking is at the nearby Harbor Brook Hall.) thealexandrainn.com/blush
