Week 11: Red Hook at Cole's Red Car Bar (Los Angeles)

Rye, Punt e Mes red vermouth, and maraschino

Rye whiskey continues to have quite the revival.  Make sure you have this cocktail while you can (Rye shortage article).  If you ever find yourself in downtown Los Angeles, I highly recommend going to Cole's for a french dip and cocktail as a mid-day treat. If you are there later in the evening, a speakeasy bar named The Varnish opens in the back of the restaurant (brought to you by the people behind NY's Milk & Honey).
