New Summer Cocktail Menu at Hopscotch

One of my all time favorite Tavern’s in OC is rolling out a new summer cocktail menu that you won’t want to miss. Hopscotch, in old town Fullerton is featuring seven crafted cocktails with Flavor Profiles Ranging From Sweet and Tart to Smokey and Savory. All drink are developed by director of Libations, James Wood.

These Summer Libations Include:

• The Peruvian- a savory cocktail featuring the flavors of Bacon and Ranch.

• Brits Lemonade- an herbaceous, tangy, and refreshing beverage.

• Blackberry Smash- a light and fruity gin-based drink.

• The Lowery- a delicious cocktail which features ripe berry flavors with a hint of dark chocolate.

• Smoke and Mirrors- a cocktail for the scotch lover.

• Hops E. Daisy- featuring complex flavors, yet an easy drinker.

• Gimme 2 Utah- an easy drinker with a hint of bitterness.

Those who enjoy sweet, fruity flavors will be drawn to the Blackberry Smash which features Right Gin, freshly-muddled blackberries, lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, and mint

Brits Lemonade is perfect for those who appreciate tangy flavors. This cocktail features Pimms, a house made rosemary lemonade, and prosecco.

Smoke and Mirrors, crafted with the Scotch drinker in mind. This drink Features Dewars Blended Scotch, Kubler Absinthe, lemon juice, vanilla syrup, and “fairy mist,”.  It’s light and refreshing with strong hints of anise.

The Peruvian is a savory and tempting cocktail with a full piece of candied bacon garnish. Pisco Porton, Courvoisier, fresh squeezed lime juice, Thyme syrup, celery bitters, and bacon Ranch powder spice up this devious drink.
