As the days get longer, the drinks get colder and are paired perfectly with our oceanfront views as we say hello to summer. One of the best parts of living in Orange County is the endless amount of dining and nightlife options. Sometimes, having so many options can be a curse when it comes down to deciding on the right place to go. That’s where our team at I love OC Homes comes in. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite craft cocktails that are not only Instagram worthy, but they taste great too.
LSXO is literally and figuratively a hidden gem located inside of Bluegold at Pacific City. Originally designed as a concept-within-a-concept, LSXO draws inspiration from Southern Vietnam with a number of Chinese influences. They serve craft wines, beers, and inventive cocktails like a Jin & Julius or a Hattori Hanzo.
Surf City Still Works is Huntington Beach’s first craft distillery offering a full range of spirits, including Limited Edition products, in the form of a flight or delicious cocktails. That’s not all; their Tasting Room has a full view of the distillery equipment and is flanked by a wall of aging whiskey barrels.
Located inside of the Shorebreak Hotel just steps from the sand this hotel lobby bar is more than ordinary bringing hip coastal vibes to the cocktails and the atmosphere. The next time you stop in try the Samurai Old Fashioned.
Last but certainly not least is Jan & Dean’s Tiki Lounge who are the new kids on the block - or should we say pier? Located on the second story of Ruby’s Diner this spot has been transformed into a tropical hideaway where Mai Tais flow like water.
