An elegant and classic cocktail, Last Word has gotten a new twist and will be launched this Friday, the 12th at Grant Grill and the Lounge. “The Last Dragones” It is a tequila, Casa Dragones Blanco, based Last Word, but not only that it is 60 day barrel rested with Green Chartreuse and Maraschino. It is aged in the same oak cask that was used for our ever-so popular Fannie’s Old Fashioned with Malahat Rye whiskey. The aging makes it a very unique yet gentle adaptation of the original Last Word. However, the aroma is even accentuated with a special aromatic that will be sprayed before serving. #theusgrant #grantgrill #lastword #casadragones #greenchartreuse #maraschinoliqueur #craftcocktails #sandiego #gaslampquarter (at THE US GRANT Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVQj1FvGAJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have another drink just rolled out from “je ne sais quoi“ series, named “Ruche” - beehive in French. It is rum based, subtle green, a little bitter and sweet. The secret is a house-made Sudachi Honey Syrup together with Demerara Rum.

I have created another drink with Nolet’s for here at Grant Gtill and the Lounge, the US Grant Hotel. This time, it’s with the Silver Gin. Taking an advantage of its floral notes, it is very refreshing, crisp and light with the addition of elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice and house made cucumber syrup. The syrup has so much cucumber flavor that it requires no muddling of additional cucumber. That makes it quick and easy to execute the drink. We have introduced the drink in Spring, but it has been going very strong after more than 6 months. “Vivace” Nolet’s Silver Gin Elderflower Liqueur Fresh Lemon Juice House made Cucumber Syrup #grantgrill #theusgrant #sandiegofood #noletsdrygin (at Grant Grill and Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWeCjIavm7Y/?utm_medium=tumblr
