Suffering from heatstroke? Although Denver is a full-on inferno these days, relief is as close as the Recovery Room, where a Blue Raspberry Limeade is just the drink to cool you off. Made with UV Blue Vodka, sour mix and a splash of 7-Up, this neon cocktail ($4), served on the rocks in a pint glass, carries a diagnosis of delicious. And the Recovery Room is pretty cool itself. A dark, narrow neighborhood haven, it opens daily at 2 p.m. and offers discount happy-hour prices until 8 p.m., making it the perfect place to take a break from sweaty outdoor activities, such as baseball and bike riding. Instead, pass a few air-conditioned hours in one of the bar's wooden booths, playing checkers, chess, Monopoly or Scrabble (my personal favorite) on boards built right into the tables. With no break in the mile-high mercury in sight, I prescribe swallowing a healthy dose of Recovery Room therapy every day. You'll feel better in no time.
