LEGENDARY BARTENDERS & RESTAURANTEURS MAKE MOCKTAIL MAGIC
We had the opportunity to help batch and support an entirely spirit-free pop-up bar at Coachella in 2018 called BAR NOT BAR by Nic Adler & Jason Eisner from Nic's on Beverley and the whole all-star team from Block Party. They curated 8 spirit-free concepts taking inspiration from best in market ingredients, healing arts, & their raw vegan concept development experiences. Top Hat founder Shane McKnight helped them workshop and batch these 8 concepts in our cocktail development commissary on site at Coachella and our respect for this spirit-free category and the energy we put into it has been inspired by these two geniuses and elevated ever since.
