Masterful Cocktails
Masterful Cocktails
For this night, we are highlighting some of the amazing cocktails at Zengo. All drinks will be $4, as per DrinksLA usual.
Some MUST-TRY cocktails:
The Jalapeno Orange Margarita is also awesome if you like a good kick in your cocktail.
The Tamarind Togarashi Margarita is like no other margarita you've had. We want to meet the guy who thought to put Tamarind in a cocktail.
The Prickly Pear Caipirinha will make you feel like it's summer in Brazil.
And the cucumber mojito is one of the better cucumber cocktails we've had. So refreshing.

Macallan Whisky
Macallan Whisky
As you already know, in order to be classed as a ‘Scotch’ Whisky, the spirit, made from a mash of cereals, must have been matured in an oak cask in Scotland for a minimum of three years and bottled at a minimum strength of 40% alcohol by volume, while being deemed a Single Malt means it was distilled at a single distillery entirely from malted barley.
How do you taste this brilliance without looking like Lindsay Lohan at 3 am? Come to this event to become an afficionado and earn the ability to impress all your friends, and prove to all of them that your life sucks less than theirs.
The best whisky maker in the world, Macallan, is giving you the exclusive right to taste their incredible product for free, but also to become good at it. By the end of the night, you may be drooling onto your bar napkin over their historic 18 year that will leave you breathless.
*******If you want to go, YOU MUST RSVP. Here's the link! *********

VUQO VODKA
The Philippines have given the world some pretty special things. Manny Pacquaio is the world's most beloved boxing champion. Bruno Mars taught us that love knows no bounds (i.e. jumping on a grenade for her). And now, VUQO vodka. Most vodka is distilled from a grain like wheat or potatoes. The ancient tradition in the Phillipines is to distill this clear spirit from Coconut nectar. The method dates back four centuries and is the same method that the Philippino seafarers taught the Mexicans when they traveled East. The Mexicans used the same methods to make their national spirit, Tequila.

HER Energy Drink
When these guys first approached us, we were extremely hesitant. "Here we go, another energy drink," we thought. But when we sat down with them and sampled the product, we were blown away. This is the first energy drink we have tried that actually tastes great! It is not the cough medicine commonly known as Red Bull, or the sugar-shit known as Monster. HER is a pink-lemonade flavored, amazingly refreshing drink that you can easily drink on some ice.... but why would we ever do that? We're DrinksLA damn it! So we're gonna make some fantastic cocktails with it and drink HER the way she was meant to be consumed... with alcohol (at least in our minds). Also cool about HER is their presence in the community and their commitment to giving back.

Tito's Vodka
Tito's Vodka
Tito's Vodka is that kind of vodka that you find only if you dare venture away from your normal grey goose (ugh) and red bull (ugh-er) that you're buying yourself at some crappy bar in LA (you know who you are Happy Endings). If you like a vodka without that terrible after burn that brings you back to college, then Tito's may be your gosh darn favorite new vodka.
Think Tito's is just another chip off the Moscovian block? Think again! Tito's is churned up at the Mockingbird distillery in Austin, Texas. It's award-winning and rated 4 stars by the notoriously tough judges at The Spirit Journal. So, buy American and throw back some Tito's with us!

THE SUPER BOWL PARTY
THE SUPER BOWL PARTY
PARTY STARTS @ 2 PM!
KICKOFF'S @ 3:25 PST!
A special cocktail menu will accompany the most epic day in America, and every drink on that menu will be $4. We're pretty sure you've never experienced anything like this on Super Bowl Sunday, so there will be a whole menu of Upper West's award-winning food to get you through the big game.
We know, this sounds too good to be true, but it is, in fact, true and it will be awesome. Let's hope the game is as good as what we're setting up, and while we're hoping, let's hope Green Bay covers the line, because we've got next month's rent resting on if they do.

THE HOLIDAY PARTY
THE HOLIDAY PARTY
Haamoni Shochu
Shochu tastes a lot like Vodka, only much smoother and minus the harsh taste. And the subtle notes are more prevalent. We love this stuff. Get to know it.
Created from over 400 years of Japanese tradition elevated to a modern age, Haamonii Smooth ultra premium shochu possesses a distinctly smooth, pure, and refreshing taste. Haamonii mean harmony in Japanese.
Crafted in small batches, Haamonii Smooth has won 7 medals including a Gold Medal by the same judges that voted Grey Goose the #1 vodka in the world years ago.
Another reason we love Haamonii is just how boutique it is. Haamonii was created by a San Francisco-based husband and wife team who had a big dream and a lot of passion to share a world-class shochu with the world.

Your favorite drink
Your favorite drink
What if we told you that for $20, you would donate to charity, get access to high-end $4 cocktails, and bowl aaaaall night looong??? Well all these things are right at your naughty fingertips the Friday before Halloween. Buy tickets at http://www.drinkslahalloween.eventbrite.com I mean, ever thought that most of your Halloween parties are always the same. Some dude as the latest Youtube video, and a couple other creeps put on a mask and stare, and some girl dressed as a slutty version of something normal...Okay, EVERY girl dressed slutty. These are all great things, really only the last one, but how about a change in venue. Lucky Strike Bowling Lanes is the perfect place for a Halloween party. This ain't your average bowling alley, in fact, they might as well call it a Bowling Discotheque because it is just about the most gorgeous venue for a late night that we've seen in Hollywood.

Bulleit Bourbon
Bulleit Bourbon
This is a great whiskey. They haven't compromised the quality of the whiskey as they have grown the last few years, and you will be presently surprised by its lack of typical whiskey bite. And to boot, the founder's name is just plain fantastic. Augustus Bulleit. Now while Bulleit sounds like a last name straight out of Kentucky, Augustus does not. But perhaps that is what gives this whiskey its great character. 2-time gold medal winner at the San Francisco spirits convention, Bulleit is a brand you need to try. http://www.bulleitbourbon.com/

Starr African Rum
Starr African Rum
Ah the places famous for their rum. You know them: Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Cuba, Cayman, Barbados, Africa, Haiti, Trinidad... wait... did you just say Africa?!?!?! That's right. Africa got tired of the Caribbean dominating the Rum scene. Now, from the paradise island of Mauritius (a ways off the coast of Madagascar.... which is a ways off the coast of Mozambique... which is in Africa. No you knew that. Of course you did.) Starr rum is a super high-end rum born from the volcanic soil of this island paradise, and bottled in one of the most beautiful bottles we've ever seen. Made on the Island and shipped halfway across the globe, I challenge you to find a spirit that has travelled this far for you to taste. And to boot, it got a "superb" from Wine Enthusiast. I know what you're thinking... that's a wine magazine. That statement just shows that you have the sophistication of someone who wears Ed Hardy. No offense if you do. Actually, scratch that. Offense intended. Come try this rum. It's awesome. Some Citrus tones. Some Cardamom tones. And some tones of pure fantastic. Some of the names of their drink recipes rock too. The Shooting Starr, the Adult Film Starr, and Star Struck. We've proposed a few others... Starr-Crossed lovers, the Lone Starr State, Ed McMahon's Starr Search, Starr Wars (STARRing Jar Jar Binks), Twinkle-twinkle-little....Starr. Annnnnd we're done.
