Specialty Drinks & Cocktails at Anyday Boca

At Anyday Boca, tapas is more than a meal—it’s a means of connection. It’s a way to extend a night, encourage storytelling, and transform a table into a festival of flavor, conversation, and movement. Crucial to keeping a meal like this alive and flowing are the beverages that accompany it.

In the same way that a memorable tapas meal isn’t defined by one signature dish, Anyday’s complex and complementary beverage program creates the opportunities to enhance the evening however you see fit. We think a diverse and surprising beverage selection is essential to a remarkable tapas meal. Tapas is defined by how everything interacts, variety ensures that a bite sparks a sip, which sparks another bite, which triggers another round of plates and perhaps another drink. At Anyday, beverages don’t come to the table just to slake thirst. Instead, drinks become catalysts, nudging the meal forward with every pour.

A tapas restaurant in Boca Raton should hum with the flavors and energy of South Florida—its multicultural influences and bright tropical flavors. And that’s why Anyday puts as much emphasis on the variety of fresh, local ingredients and cultural references in the bar as it does in the kitchen.

Tapas Requires Momentum, and Drinks Provide It

An Anyday Boca the meal unfolds in beats—a bright, acidic bite, a sip of something herbal, a smoky note that bridges the next dish, a fizzy aperitivo that reopens the appetite after something rich. This pacing comes hand-in-hand with shareable dining, which is why Lawrence “Mac” McConnell has engineered drinks to support it. Great food, Mac believes, can establish arhythm, but the addition of the right drinks at the right time can transform that rhythm into a pulse.

Mac thinks a strong beverage selection keeps your curiosity high throughout your Anyday meal, tilting you toward exploring another dish. To accomplish this, he has designed beverages that balance the menu’s diversity without overwhelming it. Throughout his career in South Florida, Mac has acquired a knack for connecting people to people and place through drinks. The key, he’s learned, is to match libations to your emotional tone, be that light and lively, deeply romantic, or boisterously friendly. Food matters, but mood matters more. Those years of experience have equipped Mac with the skills it takes to advance Anyday’s drink pairing beyond mere chemistry and into the realm of choreography. Mac believes that, because tapas thrives on engagement, his job is to ask questions, watch reactions, adjust flavors, and read the room like a storyteller.

A drink can elevate a dish, but it can also elevate a table’s energy. Naturally, different nights call for different moods. You may come to Anyday feeling convivial, intimate, celebratory, or nostalgic. Mac’s role is to surface the right drinks to help crystallize and preserve those feelings, complementing your reasons for coming out.

Quality and Craft Tell a Story All Their Own

Another of Mac’s goals is to reflect the Chef Alican Ozturk’s focus on ingredients, flavor and feel. Certain principles apply. Fresh, house-made ingredients will match the way the kitchen’s integrity impacts your palate. Wines that speak to place, not simply prestige, tell the story of belonging. Mac’s cocktails reference the classics, but feel current and alive. He designs his drink offerings to stimulate appetite, not slow it down. Whether it’s a citrus-forward syrup, a bitter aperitif, or a thoughtful spirit selection, every element should feel like part of the bigger story Anyday is telling about place and time.

Crafting the Experience is the True Job

What makes tapas so compelling is also what makes the bar so important to that story. People come to Anyday not just to eat, but to be part of something—a rhythm, a mood, a moment of time in South Florida. That’s why Mac has designed a beverage program that knows what it’s for—encouraging conversation, complementing flavors, elevating a meal into an experience. Putting drinks and tapas together with intention creates results that linger in your memory.
