…hotsy totsy! this place has been around forever, but has recently been taken over and fixed up a bit (while still preserving the old school vibe) by a husband and wife team who know their cocktails.
they have a facebook fan page, james hetfield is a fan!
and they bring in a taco truck on thurs-sun nights straight from intl blvd. i am in love.
(over the course of three visits:)
mexican velvet – tequila, mezcal, lime, pineapple gum, falernum
chokehold – rum, cynar, elderflower, lemon
muay thai – thai rum, lime, orgeat, triple sec
bitter rivers – gin, aperol, grapefruit, lime, soda, rhubarb bitters
carjack – applejack, cane syrup, lemon
knickerdropper – rum, raspberry gum, triple sec, lime
everything worked. the depaz cane syrup in the carjack is crazy delicious.
no double straining, so there were some ice flecks.
one of the bartenders there (jacque) was ECHS class of 87, turns out he knows my sister pretty well, and is good friends with some people from my class, eg, steve bradley.
one my most recent trip i brought some of my warez to share with jacque and one of the owners. that will be a separate trip report.
