The Raymond Introduces New Summer Cocktails

1886 Bar at The Raymond's Summer Cocktail Menu 2012

Regional:

Pimm’s “No. 6” with Vodka

Karlsson’s Gold Vodka and our Summer Pimm’s recipe topped with homemade sparkling lemonade. This bright spritzer rounds out our 1886 classic Pimm’s
collection.

Southern Belle Whistle

This hand-crafted soda pop evokes memories of hot summers in the South, with
fresh yellow peaches, floral sweet black tea, and 1886 Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Sealed with bubbles in a bottle, and served with a wedge of lemon.

Summer Shrub Fizz

First made to preserve fruits, classic "scrubs" became the base for summer pick-me-ups in colonial days. Picture yourself in the shade of a California Oak on the front lawn of the  Raymond Hotel, sipping this classic fizz made with Demerara Rum, London Dry Gin and organic egg white, balanced by homemade strawberry shrub with Meyer-­lemon essence.

Seasonal:

After Hours

This summer spiced rum swizzler with passion fruit, pineapple and a touch of bitters is topped with Hazelnut Porter and stars Rosanna Arquette and Griffin
Dunne.

La Brigada

Inspired by Lacey’s trips with her family to La Paz, this cocktail is a sensory experience. The hot spice on Chicharron, Smokey mezcal, homemade Agave Liqueur, fresh pineapple and lime served over crushed ice with a shard of frozen coconut water is as close as you can get to Baja in Pasadena.

Tranquilizer

A tropical delight that will knock you on your butt. This cocktail disguises over-proof rum and  Batavia Arrack with coconut and pineapple. Happy
Summer! Drink the pain away.

Strawberry Paleta

This classic Latin American frozen summer treat is for adults only. Using
-300 *F Liquid Nitrogen, the first of our rotating summer paleta “pop shots” is made with fresh California strawberries, cream and a healthy dose of
rum!

Shaken:

Kai Lani

This boozy Tiki cocktail plays Aged Rum and Over-­proof Jamaican Rum against Peach Liqueur and fresh lemon juice. 1886 puts it’s own twist on
this amazing cocktail with Garrett’s Spice Mix No. 1!

BBC

The Bols Genever Basil Collins or BBC is a refreshing summer sipper created by none other than the Godfather of 1886, Marcos Tello.

Rosebud

Brady pulls away from beer cocktails this summer and give us this  beautiful, elegant refresher made with homemade Hibiscus Liqueur, Benedictine, fresh Lime Juice and Reposado Tequila, topped with Fever Tree’s lite tonic water. Don’t dissect the name… it’s just a pink cocktail.

Stirred:

XOCOLATE

There are many reasons why 1886 is a great place, and Eder Campos is
a part of all of them. His first cocktail is sure to be an 1886 classic with Reposado Tequila, Italian Vermouth, Crème De Cacao and a hit of Mexican Mole
Bitters.

Dutch Kills

Eveleigh on the Sunset Strip is far away from Pasadena, but we think of Dave
Kupchinsky as family. Bols Barrel Aged Genever, Italian Vermouth, Bitters and a delicate dash of Apricot Liqueur was a perfect addition to our Stirred Summer
offerings. Thank you Dave!

Vintage Caprice Sell Out

Barrel aged in a bourbon cask for one year, this is the last of our Vintage Caprice made with London Dry Gin, Dry Vermouth, Benedictine, Orange Bitters, and a lot of Patience. Only a few servings left!
