Hello, I was skeptical at first, I didn't want to participate in the butchering of classics we all cherish. Not the case. These drinks are all different, refreshing, and delicate. I can guarantee you a few things. They are made with fresh ingredients, fresh juices, they have equal parts citrus to sweetener, and while one or two are "updated to modern tastes," I can personally vouch and say the updates work beautifully. For example, in the Dr. Funk we are using Pom extract instead of grenadine, because, well, Pom extract is closer to traditional grenadine than most bar grenadines. The F & B department dedicated time and resources to making this new menu, and I feel if fits the Standard's vibe/feel/location perfectly. These drinks will all come in around twelve, coming in a bit lower than the nearby Trader Vics but a few higher than Tiki-Ti. But listen, it's poolside and you can see the whole LA basin! We launched these yesterday, so give it a week or so for kinks to iron out. Then, I say, drop by and bring your friends! P.S. yes the Mai Tai has orgeat syrup, lime juice, a jamaican, a gold, and the rest you should taste for yourself. |
