Hibiscus Rum Punch

Hibiscus rum punch; a sexy, modern, fruity cocktail you'll love.

Winter does not have to mean boring in the cocktail department. Nor must it mean bourbon or brandy. Modern cocktails have evolved away from the more traditional brown spirit drinks paving the way for lots of other wonderful options. Meet my hibiscus rum punch; sultry, sexy and loaded with fruity flavor.

My rum hibiscus punch is inspired by a place I am incredibly fond of, the Caribbean. If…

This Carbon Negative Distillery Is Fighting The Climate Crisis One Bottle At A Time

This Carbon Negative Distillery Is Fighting The Climate Crisis One Bottle At A Time

Planting a tree for every T-shirt, bag of coffee, or other product sold isn’t exactly a new idea. But for LA-based Greenbar Distillery, the simple act of planting a tree for each bottle of organic spirits sold changed the company’s entire mindset. “It’s common in our cultures to plant a tree when a child is born. We think of our bottles as our children,” said Litty Matthew, co-founder of…

Discover the 21 Hottest Bars in L.A. Right Now

By Andrea Richards

Debaucherous nights don’t have to leave you hurting; the new L.A. nightlife is all about imbibing high-quality, highly curated ingredients in fantastic locations that aren’t isolated by velvet ropes. Nothing is more passé than exclusivity—it seems the entire city has tired of scenes, bad behavior and bottle service. Instead, the hottest bars are all about community, from communal tables and retro games to menus that support locally made spirits, beers and wines. For a fun and enlightened night out, look no further.

Master Mixologists Go Veggie-Friendly

Thanks to innovative bartenders, cocktails might be good for more than just our mental health—there’s a healthy dose of vegetables being deployed in those shakers.

New York import Apotheke, a stylish joint in Chinatown where bartenders don white lab coats, augments alcohol’s medicinal value, mixing eucalyptus-infused tequila, mezcal, lime, a honeydew-spirulina puree and habanero bitters into its most popular cocktail, the Greenseer, which has the microgreen Bull’s Blood as a garnish (consider it a salad!). The extensive cocktail menu focuses on housemade ingredients, many of which are vegetable or herbal infusions.

Taking things a few steps further is Kevin Lee, the creative mastermind and head bartender behind downtown’s newly opened The Wolves, who makes all his own amari, liqueurs, bitters and vermouths from seasonal produce.

Eschewing commercially produced spirits means the freshest of ingredients, and Lee’s cocktails are truly singular. His Mostly Carrots combines lavender rose vermouth, juniper cordial, carrot liqueur, yuzu bitters and aromatic bitters (all homemade) with fresh lemon and soda and receives a final spritz of “pine fragrance” from one of the many small, hand-labeled bottles atop the bar. It’s no gimmick; the drink is perfectly balanced and as exquisite as the setting—a 1911 annex to the once-grand Alexandria Hotel that has been restyled to evoke the Belle Époque.

In December, a smaller upstairs bar will open as Le Néant, hosting intimate, omakase-inspired experiences. Here, Lee will create cocktails based on guest preferences using a list of curated farmers market ingredients that will change as the micro-seasons do.

Cocktails Take Flight

Omakase-style cocktail service, where guests receive a progression of drinks based on “bartender’s choice,” is the primary draw at The Walker Inn, a speakeasy-styled bar located within Koreatown’s Normandie Club that was among the first in L.A. to adopt the practice. There are two nightly seatings for this reservation-only trip through six to seven courses of creative cocktails (accompanied by small snacks) that follows both seasonality and the staff’s creative whims.

Similarly, Bar Centro at the SLS Beverly Hills (which is currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary) hosts “Bazaar Flights,” a bartender-led six-cocktail tasting menu that features whimsical and interactive presentations. One of the innovative drinks is even made using a recipe for milk punch originating from Benjamin Franklin.

In Malibu, Eat Your Drink author Matthew Biancaniello’s newly opened Mon-Li serves an intimate, 12-person, 12-course liquid tasting menu, where one can enjoy the cocktail chef’s delicious, seasonally inspired creations along with fantastic ocean views.

Vinyl Spinners

Some evenings are made for sampling cocktails and records at the same time, so, fortunately, a slew of new places inspired by Japanese hi-fi coffee shops and whiskey bars have landed in L.A.

The cozy and midcentury-styled In Sheep’s Clothing, in the Arts District, opens in the morning as a coffee shop and then transitions at night into a full-service bar. Guests are asked to keep conversations low and not to take photographs so that everyone has a chance to engage in communal listening.

Highland Park’s newly opened Gold Line is a bar actually owned by a record company (Stones Throw Records) that features a top-flight vintage hi-fi sound system and a collection of 7,500 vinyl records from label founder Peanut Butter Wolf.

Located above the 800 Degrees pizzeria in Hollywood is the diminutive Sunset & Vinyl, a 1970s-inspired lounge where no more than 35 people at a time drink cocktails designed specifically for the grooves. Guests here are invited to bring along hits from their own record collections.

Rec Rooms

Beyond listening parties, there are plenty of other communal pursuits that allow patrons to play more than the field. Vintage arcade games, pinball, lawn games and even shuffleboard offer a chance to interact over drinks—and, of course, an opportunity to show off high scores.

The latest incarnation of the “barcade” is Walt’s Bar, a folksy, corner bar in Eagle Rock that advertises fine wine and hot dogs on hand-painted signs. The long wooden bar is a great place to knock back a beer from a local brewer (rotating offerings from Mumford, Highland Park Brewery and Long Beach’s Beachwood Blendery are all on tap)— that is, if you can pull yourself away from a pinball machine long enough to finish it.

Echo Park’s popular Button Mash also has an extensive list of local beers, plus pinball and some 40 golden-age arcade cabinets. If the din of blips and bleeps isn’t strong enough, knock down pins at the historic Highland Park Bowl, a gorgeous refurbished bowling alley with steampunk style, wood-fired pizza and themed cocktails. Or try The Spare Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt, a gaming parlor with two vintage bowling lanes and plenty of strong drinks.

Locally Made Spirits

To savor local flavor, take a tour of one of Los Angeles’ distilleries. The first craft distillery in L.A. since Prohibition, Greenbar Distillery, in the Arts District, shows its hometown pride on every bottle of its small-batch, organic spirits with the tagline “Made in the City of Angels.” Greenbar showcases local produce and L.A. flavors to capture the city’s cultural terroir, and sales support nonprofit initiatives like feeding the hungry and planting trees. Visitors can tour the distillery or take a class in craft cocktail making.

Also in the Arts District, Lost Spirits Distillery offers two-hour tours—complete with a Willy Wonka-esque boat ride—plus a tasting of its rums and malts by reservation only.

The Future Is Female

Thankfully, gender equity in the hospitality industry has become a concern patrons are paying attention to, and the best way to support it is by frequenting women-owned establishments.

Earlier this year, three friends and businesswomen opened Genever, an art deco-styled lounge in Historic Filipinotown whose menu celebrates the history of women-run speakeasies, fresh ingredients, Filipino flavors and, of course, gin.

In Little Tokyo, using spirits from women-run distilleries is important to The Mermaid owners Katie Kildow and Arelene Roldan, whose newest venture is a fanciful, underwater-themed space serving tropical cocktails, local beers and wine.

Block Parties

The sport of barhopping in L.A. used to be akin to island-hopping—traversing great distances to land at an isolated destination. But today, the city is more connected—and more walkable—than ever before, thanks to a focus on locality.

Avoiding traffic and sticking to the neighborhood lets you turn every evening into a block party. Bars, restaurants and coffee shops are moving in close proximity to one another so all needs can be taken care of in a single block, like the one in Highland Park that boasts Highland Park Wine—a shop from the Silverlake Wine team—Triple Beam Pizza, restaurant Hippo and coffee shop Go Get Em Tiger.

Also in Highland Park, the aptly named Block Party—a modern beer garden that boasts a huge, sunny patio—serves craft beers and vino from small-production winemakers. The picnic tables and shuffleboard set invite guests to hang as a community, and food is welcomed from outside vendors (on Thursday nights, vendors sell vegan food all along York Boulevard). Similarly, on the Westside, the newly opened Broxton is a brewpub from Artisanal Brewers Collective that boasts something for everyone—even kids.

Perhaps the most elegant example of a space attempting to connect communities appears in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, Union Station, which just welcomed the train-themed Imperial Western Beer Co., from 213 Hospitality, where travelers and locals come together in true beer-hall fashion for inhouse-brewed craft beer. Sharing space in the historic train depot is The Streamliner, a dramatic bar from the team behind the Varnish that aims to offer “finer, faster cocktails” at an affordable price. A delicious and more democratic gimlet? Yes, please.

Fall Smash Cocktail

Go ahead, be different: meet my Fall Smash Cocktail, a fruit forward vodka-based drink that's truly memorable.

Put down the pumpkin and back away. The Fall season offers so much more than pumpkin bread and Halloween jack-o-lanterns. The cooler months bring lovely changing colors, shorter days, cozy nights and rich flavorful cocktails that warm your body from the toes up. While I lean slightly toward the lighter, fruity, less sweet cocktailsgenerally, the seasonal changes still affect me, even on the…

Craft Spirits Carnival

 Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Craft Spirits Carnival, a sweeping event in a hangar in Fort Mason featuring a plethora of craft spirits, and some big name brands, too. There were about 20 distillers represented in the California Artisanal Distillers’ Guild and plenty of brands from across the country and across the globe, too. But if you know me, you know that I’m here for all the local stuff - the spirits that are made from California grown grains, distilled here in California, and made by my fellow Californians.

The turnout at the Craft Spirits Carnival is a testament to the growing business of craft distilleries. Much as craft beer has been all the craze over recent years, craft distilleries are also taking the plunge into competing with the big boys. Just as many restaurants tout a menu full of locally sourced food, so, too, goes the trend with the bottles on the back bar and the ingredients in cocktails.

I was happy to see some of my favorite California distillers at the event. Venus Spirits was there pouring a delicious aquavit cocktail made with pineapple and lime, helping to showcase the sweeter side of aquavit. Mosswood showed up with their full line, tasting people on their newly released sour beer barrel whiskey. Likewise, Sonoma County Distilling represented their award winning whiskey line. LoFi brought their vermouths to taste.

I was also able to try new things - a lot of new things. Perhaps too many things to even properly recount them all. Admittedly, palate fatigue was a problem. I realize in retrospect perhaps I should have had a better strategy. The amount of stuff to try is overwhelming, with plenty of tasty palate killers such as absinthe and cinnamon liqueurs luring you in - but, here, patience is key. It’s easy to get drunk fast, so for anyone who is looking for a game plan, it’s best to show up early, do a starter lap, takes notes of what you’d like to taste, and try gins and vodkas, then tequilas and light rums, then whiskies, then amaros and liqueurs.

My favorite part of the event were the California Artisanal Distillers’ Guild booths. Some notable favorites included the Ghost Pepper vodka from Ascendant Spirits in Santa Barbara. The heat in the vodka was palatable and lingering without being overwhelming. Gin Farallon from San Carlos was an excellent gin bursting with floral notes from botanicals such as lavender, elderflower and orris root. Greenbar Distillery from Los Angeles offers an extensive line of products, and I was delighted by their six wood whiskey, which they age in white oak, red oak, hickory, maple, mulberry and grape woods. The end result is a complex and nuanced whiskey that hits unexpected notes of spice and body that many whiskies can’t accomplish with just white oak barrels. I tried some of the products from Humboldt Distillery, a distillery that produces cannabis infused spirits. The cannabis offered a richness and body in their spirits, with toasty, slightly cacao note. Definitely a California original. Barbary Coast white Rum from Raff Distilleries on Treasure Island offered a complex palate with funky, tropical notes on the finish.

There were a fair amount of smaller spirits coming from beyond our borders. Alquimia Organic Tequila, a bright and floral highlands tequila, showcased their full line, including a rich extra anejo tequila. Santo Diablo Mezcal, at 100% espadin, was surprisingly the only mezcal present, but it was a fine representation of this booming new category. Tanduay Rum, made in the Phillipines by a Chinese company and with grassy, oily notes, and Kikori whiskey represented spirits coming to us from Asia.

A new batch of amaros piqued my interest at this show. Amaro Angeleno from Los Angeles was a delightful, light amaro with citrus forward notes. Amaro Bilaro from Sebastopol, on the other hand, was a dark and brooding amaro with lingering bitter notes. I quite enjoyed the mini spritz I drank at Jardesca, a white wine aperitivo blooming with botanicals and floral notes. I tried the Stark Spirits aquavit, done in a traditional style with a heavy dose of carraway.

I regret that beyond these notable spirits, I did miss out on a few exciting booths. But cut me some slack! After everything listed above, it was hard to keep a level head and keep all my notes straight. Amador Distillery, Engine 49 & Dr Diggings Distillery had a full and intriguing line of spirits. I completely missed the Araceli Marigold Liqueur booth, the Priqly booth and Pops Rumpopo. I will be keeping my eye out for these products behind bars in the Bay Area so I can give them a try.

Many other distillers were present at the event, not as a presenters but as curious observers. Perhaps they were checking out the competition, perhaps they were doing research, or perhaps they were looking at the opportunities that the event offered. The Craft Spirits Carnival is open to the public - for $100, the event is a boozy free for all. The event attracts sophisticated drinkers, home bartenders, industry hopefuls, professional bartenders, and amateurs alike. The Craft Spirits Carnival can be an opportunity for young drinkers to experience the abundance that most industry people take for granted. That being said, there were stories of overindulgence. For small distillers, the competition for drinkers was high, and hand selling bottle by bottle was the name of the game. Inquisitive distillers should know - two people per booth is a bare minimum for this event, and offering pamphlets and swag beyond just the bottles helps make a lasting impact on consumers.

While the event itself was intense, I was impressed by the strong presence of new and growing California distilleries. Trends in the alcohol industry point to a booming craft distillers - following in the footsteps of the craft beer boom. Craft distillers are on an upswing that may even eclipse the fascination with craft beer. The presence and enthusiasm at the Craft Spirits Carnival is evidence of this. Many distillers present had one or a few spirits to share, but those with a smaller line to offer often spoke of projects in the works - or in barrels - that are slated to be released before next year’s fair.
