SOL Cocina Introduces Fall/Winter Bar Offerings

New Cocktails Bring Contemporary Approach to Traditional Mexican Drinks


Newport Beach, November 2012 – SOL Cocina has introduced intriguing new cocktails for the fall and winter season, bringing a contemporary approach to traditional Mexican drinks. With a focus on fresh and immediate flavors, SOL focuses on the purity of fresh ingredients, including fresh juices, fruits, herbs and vegetables.

“Our bar menu revolves around the same philosophy our kitchen follows with a commitment to the freshest ingredients to ensure the best tasting, most flavorful cocktails,” said Matt Baumayr, Managing Partner of SOL Cocina. “Our cocktails showcase SOL’s unique style while staying true to the flavors of Mexico.”

Among the new items featured on the cocktail menu:

PUMPKIN SPICE MARGARITA РThis seasonal cocktail will be available through December. It is refreshing, not too sweet, and a little spicy, featuring Don Julio Blanco, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, roasted pumpkin pur̩e, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.

HORCHATA MARTINI – A loved drink in Mexico, we are introducing our own house-made Horchata. It is shaken & strained with a black tea-infused Don Julio Reposado tequila and 1921 Crema Tequila, then dusted with cinnamon before serving.

MANGO CON CHILE FROZEN MARGARITA – This is a new take on our noted frozen margarita. We prepare it with mango puree in a chile-salted bucket glass is garnished with dried mango in chile salt!

1921 TEA: A warm cocktail perfect for the fall and winter season, this drink is served in a snifter with warm English Breakfast tea, Grand Marnier and 1921 Crema tequila.
