The Beach Boys’ Mike Love Is Opening a Hub for His Club Kokomo Spirits in Miramar | Eater San Diego

"Rooted in Mike Love's decades-long connection to San Diego—dating back to the Beach Boys' 1966 'Pet Sounds' cover shoot—the San Diego-based Club Kokomo Spirits was established after Love partnered with local distiller Geoff Longenecker of Seven Caves in 2022 to produce an inaugural collection of ready-to-drink canned cocktails, including Love's favorite mojito made with a lemongrass rum Longenecker first created for Kingfisher restaurant. The brand is now expanding into pure spirits with an accessibly priced line of premium artisanal rums (Artisanal White Rum, Tahitian Vanilla Rum, and Barrel Finished Rum) designed to be enjoyed as sippers or cocktail components and explicitly made without added sugar or artificial flavorings, and the company is planning a Miramar venue to give visitors more opportunities to interact with the products." - Candice Woo
