Los Angeles’ 1st Distillery Since Prohibition Releases 2 Bottled Gin Cocktails
Greenbar Distillery’s latest release includes two iconic gin cocktails: a Negroni and Vesper Martini.
Greenbar Distillery, recognized as the first distillery in Los Angeles since the era of Prohibition, has introduced a collection of ready-to-drink cocktails, featuring two gin classics and an iconic whiskey drink, per BevNet. This addition expands the already extensive lineup of spirits, liqueurs, bitters and canned RTDs offered by Greenbar.
Each cocktail within the range features bespoke elements tailored specifically for that drink. The selection comprises a California Poppy Negroni boasting a floral intensity, a “smooth and complex” Smoky Vesper Martini and a Single Malt Old Fashioned with warm citrus notes. Both gin cocktails are made with Greenbar’s original dry gin.
“We’re excited to offer an authentic bar experience every time for those seeking to upgrade their at-home and on-the-go options without getting their hands wet,” said Melkon Khosrovian, co-founder of Greenbar Distillery. “Having worked with bartenders since we launched Greenbar in 2004, these new cocktails gave Litty and me a chance to apply nearly two decades of experience to creating our vision of deeply satisfying, balanced cocktails for all.”
These cocktails are now available for purchase in various retail stores across Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Kentucky, New Jersey and Illinois, as well as select Whole Foods Markets nationwide. To serve the Greenbar RTD cocktails, simply “chill, pour and enjoy.”
The retail prices for each 375mL bottle will start at $19.99 for the Negroni and Martini, and $22.99 for the Old Fashioned, according to the news release.
