ARE YOU READY TO GET SEXY OR WHAT?

Virgin Hotels is raising a glass—and the temperature—in celebration of Hulu’s hotly anticipated new sitcom, Mid-Century Modern. Starting today, guests across all five U.S. Virgin Hotels—New York City, Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, and Nashville—can indulge in an exclusive, limited-time cocktail menu inspired by the show’s glam, retro vibe.

Mid-Century Modern—from the creators of Will & Grace and produced by Ryan Murphy—stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham, and the late Linda Lavin. Set in Palm Springs, it follows three best friends navigating love, reinvention, and plenty of martini-worthy drama.

In classic Virgin Hotels fashion, this collaboration brings the show’s spirit to life through a bold and playful cocktail experience full of wit, flair, and fabulousness.

The Mid-Century Modern Cocktail Lineup:

  • Boys Just Wanna Have Fun

    Bright and cheeky—like Jerry himself—this mix of Ketel One Vodka, cherry vanilla soda, and lemonade is pure fun in a glass.

  • She’s Throwing Shade

    Sharp, stylish, and not afraid to bite. A nod to Bunny, this drink blends Spring 44 Gin, St-Germain, Fever-Tree Grapefruit Soda, and fresh lime.

  • The Rainbow Rager

    Bold and fiery like Arthur, this cocktail packs a punch with Bacardi 8, Aperol, pineapple, and cinnamon.

  • Your Mother’s Spritz

    Zesty and unforgettable—just like Sybil. This citrusy refresher features Italicus, Pinot Grigio, grapefruit, and Fever-Tree Grapefruit Soda.

  • Palm Springs Punch

    A sun-drenched escape in a glass. Patrón Silver Tequila, pineapple, lemon, and passionfruit come together in a cocktail that’s as vibrant as the city it celebrates.
