Trying The New Culinary Driven Craft Cocktail Menu at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino’s L Bar

Tucked into the lobby of the well-known Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood Florida, lies the intimate cocktail and music lounge, L Bar. Since 2015, L Bar has been offering cocktail enthusiasts the finest handcrafted cocktails using fresh, seasonal produce and house-made syrups along with inventive techniques to create their nostalgic yet progressive and ever-evolving menu. With the regularly rotating roster of live entertainment, L Bar’s elevated space created by the David Mexico Group gives off an ethereal, futuristic feel. In this episode of “Across the Bar,” host Paul Barron has a chance to get behind the bar with lead mixologist Gerald Contreras, who has been curating specialized drinks with Hard Rock for the past three years. L Bar’s recently revamped menu of nine new drinks is split into classics, not so classic, and culinary influenced sections. The goal is to create a cocktail experience that showcases some of the classics that inspire modern mixology and taking that inspiration to create trend worthy culinary driven cocktails.Watch the episode above for a look at some cocktails melding together premium ingredients with the latest food trends like cold brew coffee and avocados.  Cocktail No. 1: Avocado Toast One of the most Instagrammed food items of the moment, avocado toast, gets reimagined in this sweet and savory cocktail.
