West Hollywood’s The Churchill is boosting its cocktail program, unveiling a new menu of drinks tonight designed by Mia Sarazen, the celebrated bartender who made a big splash at Harvard & Stone, Tasting Kitchen, Black Market, Soho House, and Areal in the past. The restaurant also poached Bagatelle’s opening manager, Patrick Cabido, an ace in the hospitality world with experience at New York’s Four Seasons, Mulberry Project, and Goldbar, to serve as its new operations manager. So what’s Sarazen serving?

Sarazen’s menu further demonstrates her deftness with fresh herbs, interesting infusions, and handmade syrups in tweaked classics, with cocktails that speak to The Churchill’s character like in “The Bulldog,” with Milagro blanco tequila, passion fruit, pineapple, lime, and jalapeno, and “The Statesmen,” which uses baked apple bitters and apricot with lemon and Famous Grouse scotch (which would’ve worked for this guy). The menu also finds the return of a Sarazen staple in “Baby’s First Bourbon” from Harvard & Stone, which matches her handmade orgeat syrup with Bulleit, lemon, and house bitters. See the full menu below, debuting tonight at The Churchill.
