Three years ago, Richel D’Ambra started serving cosmos and spa-tinis to her pedicure clients at Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon (the Ritz-Carlton, 10 South Broad Street, third floor, 215-523-8035; richeldambra.com). Now we’re seeing a boomlet in spa-cktail hours: Pierre & Carlo offers a Mandarin Martini Pedicure, with a mandarin callus treatment, mandarin foot mask and mandarin martini (200 South Broad Street, 215-790-9910, and 8460 Limekiln Pike, Wyncote, 215-572-6300; pierreandcarlo.com). Louis Christian Wayne Robert (1990 Route 70 East, Cherry Hill, 856-751-2233; lcwrsalonandspa.com) serves up scented soaks and scrubs to match its monthly cocktail (July: piña colada). And so that even spa-phobic guys don’t feel left out of the hedonism, Water Unlimited (1114 Pine Street; 215-629-1199) chases its men’s shave with a cold beer. If only Brazilians-’n'-bong hits were the next big spa trend, just imagine how hairless we’d all be!
