North County

BOB BURNQUIST + MAGGIE HOULIHAN + CRUSH

AUTUMN IN A GLASS

Solace & the moonlight lounge (the handsome North County outpost of Urban Solace) has joined forces with mixologist

Adam Stemmler of Blind Tiger Cocktail Co. to whip up some creative cocktails that refl ect the aesthetic and ethos of

Chef Matt Gordon. Made using sustainable and organic products, Rhuby’s Alchemy blends organic rhubarb liqueur and

Tru organic lemon vodka (citrus plucked in Temecula) with muddled English cucumber, aromatic basil, simple syrup, fresh

lemon juice, the herbaceous digestive, Green Chartreuse, and a healthy dose of Angostura bitters. Shaken, strained, and

served straight up, this smooth sipper is airy fresh, a perfect balance of bitter and sweet with the notes of fall dancing

on the palate. ’Tis the season. Cheers! // ANN WYCOFF
