L.A.'s Top 9 Spots For Seasonal Summer Cocktails

The Parish

Historic Core Cocktail The Parish seems like a mild mannered gastropub downstairs, but once the crowd comes to the bar upstairs, good luck! John Coltharp is the head mixologist of the DTLA destination, and he created some pretty fantastic summer cocktails. Try the Thumb War, made with Espolan Blanco tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, cinnamon bark syrup, and angostura bitters. Or if bourbon is your drink of choice, try the Elijah Craigslist, with Elijah Craig 12 year bourbon, Lustau East India Solera sherry, Amaro Nonino, and Miracle Mile candy cap bitters.
