Barrel-aged Cocktails At Sanctuaria Wild Tapas

Does it seem weird that I (tree) write posts under “Things I’ve Written” when it’s really Patrick who wrote them? Well, then, so be it. I’m weird. But you should know that Patrick’s latest Drunken Vegan Gut-Check post is up. Check out Comparing Sanctuaria’s Barrel-Aged Cocktails to the Fresh-Mixed Version.

We’d tried some “bottled” cocktails during a recent trip to Los Angeles, then we were perusing the cocktail list at Sanctuaria Wild Tapas in The Grove and saw that they had barrel-aged cocktails. Like the whole cocktail, not just a component like one of the liquors. Naturally, we had to try them. They had a flight where you could get half-pours of three. Perfect for us to share. We talked to the bartender a bit about the idea behind it and then decided it would be cool to taste barrel-aged cocktails next to the fresh-mixed versions. He hooked us up with another flight and we tasted them side by side.

I won’t spoil it by talking any more about it here… why don’t you just go read Patrick’s Drunken Vegan Post about these barrel-aged cocktails at Sanctuaria on the Riverfront Times Gut-Check blog.
