We sure love a well-crafted cocktail! (See a list of our favorite cocktail bars here and a previous cocktail collaboration here) Even more, we love collaborating with brands we align with so well! OOLA is dedicated to quality, celebrating the process, and deliciously handcrafted spirits. What’s not to love! AND their tasting room is within a stone’s throw from our studio. We collaborated on a cocktail perfect for chilly fall nights and raising a glass to the ones you love. We present the Dia de los Muertos cocktail! WARNING : this cocktail is dangerously delicious!
