Because the 1932 Reserve was named to have the Best Cocktails in all of Missouri according to Missouri's Best 2023. What about the 1932 Reserve makes it so special? It's all about the history and the location, on their website they say...

"Osage Beach’s oldest hotel and tavern has been renovated into the most upscale lodging and dining experience at The Lake of the Ozarks.  Originally built in 1932...Our whimsical cocktail program boast drinks made with fresh squeezed juices and the finest spirits, and our expansive wine list has a bottle or glass perfectly suited for everyone.Our industrial modern spin on the building built in 1932 provides the perfect atmosphere for a night out with family and friends or a business dinner with clients.  Located in theheart of Osage Beach..."

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
