Los Angeles’s 9 Best Gin and Tonics to Drink Now | Eater

"There’s more to this Santa Monica beer garden than an enviable list of super-local craft brews. The after-work crowd shows up for a bar-friendly food menu — things like a giant pretzel, lamb meatball, and shishito mac and cheese — a nice enough wine list, and a whole menu devoted to gin-based cocktails. You know the gin and tonic will be ace, but if you want to get fancier, look to the Pear Pressure, an instant fall classic. The baking spice notes and dry citrus flavor truly “pear” well with The Botanist gin’s 22 Islay botanicals for a very seasonable G&T. It’ll transport you right to Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family." - Vox Creative
