At first, all you taste is sour. But as you keep sipping, the flavors splinter into tart lemon, rounded almond and citrus notes, and the distinct pomegranate-tinged sweetness of the grenadine.
The days of asking for a mocktail and being handed a Shirley Temple or a tall glass of grapefruit juice on ice are hopefully behind us.
It might seem like an unlikely destination for a great mocktail, but the Old Man Bar at the back of Hatchet Hall in Culver City — the place with the serious log cabin vibe and the taxidermy birds hanging from the dark wood panels above the bar — is serving a dangerously drinkable mocktail called the Straight & Narrow.
It starts with lemon juice, a splash of orgeat and another of grenadine. The bartender then fills the tall glass with crushed ice and tops it off with soda water so that the bottom remains rose pink and the top bubbly and translucent, similar to the effect of a Rocket Pop. The final touch is a spritz or two of rose water across the top.
The powerful fragrance of rose water perfumes each sip.The mocktail is also available in the restaurant, but we prefer it at the dimly lit bar, surrounded by knickknacks your grandpa would have hoarded.For the rose water garnish, fill a small spritzer bottle with rose water to mist the top of the drink. If you don’t have a spritzer bottle, simply add a dash of rose water to the cocktail before serving.
