An Orange Margarita is a Classic Margarita with Greenbar Orange liqueur instead of Triple Sec - this reduces the sweetness and boosts the organic orange taste. To make our award-winning orange liqueur, we hand-zest hundreds of local oranges for an intense tang and bitter-sweetness. Pair this Orange Margarita with jalapeno cornbread muffins, carnitas or an [...]

Not just for brunch! In its simplest form a Bloody Mary is just vodka and tomato juice. We like to think that this is one of the places where the savory flavors of Greenbar Garden vodka shine. Of course, you can mix it up a bit. Maybe you already have a favorite Bloody Mary mix [...]
Add a splash of smokiness to a margarita with mezcal. We recommend this cocktail if you love margaritas but are also a mezcal fan who enjoys the hint of smoke. We've heard that the deep rich flavor makes the drink taste strong but the alcohol level is about the same as a standard 'rita. We [...]
An absolute favorite and perfect for every time of day. Dunk a donut into a serving of Greenbar Single Malt whiskey, and enjoy the marriage of delicious sweetness with rich notes of tea, butterscotch, vanilla and dark fruit. We prefer traditional raised donuts but let your taste buds be your guide :)
Officially LA's favorite cocktail, The Griffith is an acclaimed award winner.

The Griffith Cocktail is designed to work [...]

Complex and delicious served straight from the bottle, IXÁ Reposado Tequila is also a great ingredient in craft cocktails as it adds complexity and depth without overriding other ingredients. Pair with savory pastries. We especially love Armenian boreg or piroshki and have even tried it with nazook which pulled out some of the deeper coffee flavors.
IXÁ Añejo Tequila is perfect just as it is but we're always interested in finding new flavor combinations, so one day we set ourselves the challenge: how to make the best añejo tequila cocktail. We were looking for a new drink that accentuates the wood and fruit flavors of aged tequila - we think we found [...]
Created by Litty and Melkon back when Greenbar Distillery was far younger than it is now, this cocktail stands strong. It's the perfect savory cocktail and is a delicious match for rich food.

Our go-to cocktail: this is a drink everyone loves. The refreshing taste of real lemons combined with muddled mint is perfect for every season. We call this cocktail a Double Lemon Presse because it's packed with citrus, two ounces of Greenbar Lemon Vodka and one ounce of fresh squeezed lemon juice. It's based on a [...]
The trick to making a great mule is using Greenbar Ginger liqueur and soda water. You get the kick of real ginger without any unwanted aftertaste. We love pairing a Melrose Mule organic cocktail with a selection of rustic breads and deli fixings. The taste is strong enough to stand up to strong flavors yet refreshing [...]
Clean and delicious, we love this daiquiri because it's super easy to make but tastes like you slaved behind the bar. Punch up the look by using fresh lavender as the garnish. Pair with your favorite takeout.
This is one smooth cocktail! We like to think it's chosen by the leading ladies in Bel Air but it can definitely be enjoyed by everyone. Using pure cranberry juice in a Fountain of Youth cocktail is key. Look for unsweetened 100% juice. It's now available in most stores and makes a huge taste difference. [...]

Now and then you come across someone who really knows their spirits and Rachael Robbins (AKA @Chickologist) knows liquor better than most. This recipe comes from Rachael: she was facing a cold New York morning and needed the perfect brunch drink. She started with Greenbar Garden vodka and got to work making the best homemade [...]
