The dirty little secret most truly committed Pressed Juicery lovers know is that, while there’s no replacing a good bottle of Greens 1 first thing in the morning, a little Citrus 3 knocked into a glass of champagne or a shot of brandy in a punch bowl full of Apple Cinnamon Persimmon can really take your love of juice to the next level. With holiday party season in full swing, we’ve asked one of LA’s top bartenders to help us mix a few custom cocktails that can be made at home and will take your holiday party skills to the next level.
We met bartender Jeremy Lake behind the bar at Crossroads Kitchen, one of the most glamorously old-fashioned dining rooms for healthy food-lovers in the city. With a space designed by top LA design troupe, Studio Collective, and talent like vegan Chef Tal Ronnen (who famously catered Ellen & Portia’s wedding) in the kitchen, Crossroads feels more cosmopolitan nightspot than vegan eatery – the perfect spot for some fresh juice mixology.
Jeremy designed three cocktails, a creamy Spiced Almond dream, a gorgeous over-the-top citrus cocktail and a glowing pink pick-me-up with grapefruit and beets. Each cocktails is named after the street of a Pressed Juicery location and is garnished to the hilt. Take Jeremy’s cues and go all out – after all, that’s what this season is all about! Gather materials for all three, or pick just one to play star of the show on your Christmas or New Year’s party bar cart.
