I’ve been on a ginger beer cocktail kick recently. Dark & Stormy, Kentucky Colonel, Mules, etc. The Starlite Lounge across the 5 from the airport has some great cocktails along those lines.
Tiki drinks have become fun again. And I don’t mean the fruit juice sugar overload kind.. I mean the hardcore 100% liquor no-juice kind that kick your ass reeeeaalll good. If you’ve never had a real Tiki drink, check out the Tiki Ti in LA (http://www.tiki-ti.com/), they have over 90 amazing cocktails. Can’t go wrong with a Bali Hai Mai Tai either.
Don’t forget the classics. Scotch neat or a dirty gin martini. Mmmmmmmm.
