I know Hang10 is :) Luna - I'm not going to Oasis, but only because I can't spare the time or money this year. Too much going on, unfortunately. I really want to go to Tiki Caliente more at the moment because I love Palm Springs. I grew up visiting PS a lot to go backpacking and climbing in the surrounding mountains. I'm a mountaineer at heart... Porpoise - I want to make a Pluto's Heart, but am out of one of the rums, and dang Total Whine is out of stock, and I haven't found it elsewhere yet either... Sounds tasty, along with the Pieces O' Eight...

It's the Cruzan blackstrap that I haven't found yet, but I'm sure its here. (I'm not going to substitute with something else.) Every liquor store carries all the flavored rums, but the blackstrap is a little harder to find. And I have to refresh my Vermouth as well, but that's everywhere. Thanks, and cheers!

I've still yet to make a Painkiller with S&C or Kraken as I've seen suggested. I should get on that. Wish I could get to Oasis. No can do since we spent almost four weeks away for our wedding and honeymoon already this year.

Looks like you had a great wedding, congrats! Maybe next year. ATP & Ace - yeah Coles is the best. Spent $25 round trip but it was totally worth it! Coles opened in 1908. I am addicted! Old Fashioned at Seven Grand Puka Puka. This might be my favorite drink at Tiki Ti.

L lunavideogames Grand Member (5 years) San Diego Joined: May 09, 2012 Posts: 1878	L lunavideogames Posted posted on Thu, Jul 23, 2015 5:37 PM QB Kula. Not my favorite. Malibu... Ace - I love it! All the classics and they are willing to stray from the menu and make variations. I also got a Creole which is a Manhattan variation with Amaro, Benedictine, rye and Carpano. Honestly one of my favorite bars in LA. I chatted with the bartender a bunch today. I would have gotten a Smith & Cross drink if I didn't want to get to Tiki Ti at open time :) I 100% recommend it. There is a bar behind it as well. Speakeasy style call Varnish. They will accommodate you with any requests. Not to mention that the French Dips are soooooo gooood! :)

I had a friend with a shop across the street in the old Santa Fe building where they have real old-school brass elevators with lever controls and the "dials" above the doors, just like in the old movies. Cole's is on the edge of the garment district, and right next door to the jewelry district. Truly a fun part of town. Thanks to you I'm adding it to my "must do" list the next time I am out there. Wow, 1908...

Wow, 1908... Varnish, the back room speakeasy in Coles was originally, L.A. gangster Mickey Cohen's base of operations during his reign in old L.A. oh man the history! Coles has been renovated since you where last there, but they kept all the old booths & dark wood interior still filled with vintage art & photos etc. Coles turns up in many TV shows needing a period look, Madmen etc. The area is now Hipster central, but if you go early you escape the crowd, food & drinks are great (Old Fashions in particular!)
