Cool Down at West Hollywood’s The Roger Room with Epic End-of-Summer Cocktails created by the Roger Room Bartenders

THE ROGER ROOM, Los Angeles’ iconic award-winning craft cocktail bar, presents five new cocktails to ease out of the summer heat and into perhaps the best season in Los Angeles – fall.

In creating the new menu, THE ROGER ROOM bartenders took to heart their motto

“The best of everything, nothing but the best.”

And came up with five exceptionally fun and extravagant cocktails to ease the transition.

In addition to their regular menu, new special selections include:

Truffle Martini, Luksusowa Vodka Infused with Black Winter Truffle, Sea Salt and Shaved Black Truffle;

Irish Goodbye with Slane Irish Whiskey, Fresh Espresso, Mr. Black and Handmade Whipped Cream;

The Alcan Road with Rittenhouse Rye, Yellow Chartreuse, Cynar and Lemon Twist;

Smokey & The Bandit with Ilegal Mezcal, Lime, Allspice, Orange, Vanilla and Cinnamon; and

Chai Whiskey Sour with Buffalo Trace, Chai Tea, Lemon, Egg White, Cinnamon and Star Anise.

All drinks are priced at $16-35.

Luksusowa is the #1 selling potato vodka in the world and everyone knows potatoes and truffles are a delightful combination – so why not add vodka and make it the perfect threesome!

Sometimes there is just no getting out of a bad situation. The best thing to do is embrace it.  The Irish Goodbye is humility in a glass.  There is no smoother way to turn the evening around than with a little sip of this.

Before prohibition, Rye was America’s favorite whiskey. The Alcan Highway is the only road to Alaska. Combine them both and you are destined for a trip that is light on the tongue with a long finish.

Smokey & The Bandit – $16 Ilegal Mezcal, Lime, Allspice, Orange, Vanilla, Cinnamon

Illegal Mezcal is a 100% agave Espadin with varietal notes of sweet and spicy peppers, balanced by grapefruit, pineapple and blood orange. A deep smoke and gentle burn make it the perfect cocktail ingredient. Add a few distinct flavors and you are definitely getting away with something.

Chai Whiskey Sour – Buffalo Trace, Chai Tea, Lemon, Egg White, Cinnamon, Star Anise

Balance is the key to a perfect whiskey sour and this fresh take softens the sour edge with a gentle chai foam, with hints of liquorice and cinnamon.

Have LA drinkers fallen in love with Monkey Shoulder Refreshed Bottle, Flavor and Style

Award-winning Monkey Shoulder whisky, the 100% malt whisky made for mixing, is revealing a fresh new look and feel to its bottle, the first major change to the brand’s hero bottle since it started shaking up the traditional whisky category in 2005.

The changes include a bold refresh of the label and a lighter bottle – up to 25% in glass reduction – providing an even better cocktail-making experience.

Get ready to party with a new look.

Monkey Shoulder bottle slims down for an easier pour

The new and improved Monkey Shoulder bottle will be implemented across both The Original and Smokey Monkey varieties of the whisky and is more than just a glass reduction.

Refreshingly light, the new look includes a longer neck for an easier pour, for both bartenders and consumers making whisky cocktails at home.

The bottle is perfect for shelf display

The new look matches the liquid within; the new split-label design and the enlarged brand logo oozes premium and is perfect for being displayed proudly on the whisky shelf or back bar. Fans of Monkey Shoulder’s “three monkeys” badge need not fear, as it still features pride of place on the new label.

The innovations to the design were delivered thanks to an AI-powered visual analysis to test key features and label viewability, followed by rigorous consumer testing. This led to a new look bottle and label that not only maintained its premium cues and distinctiveness but was approved by fans of the brand.

Everything remixed but the recipe: Inside the bold new bottles is the same award-winning liquid loved around the world. Made with single malt whiskies from the Speyside region of Scotland, selected in small batches then married together, Monkey Shoulder Original Malt Whisky retains its rich, smooth, and fruity flavour.

Ifan Jenkins, from Monkey Shoulder says: “Just like our cocktails, we wanted to mix things up when it came to our look. The eye-catching, new-look bottle has been designed not only to improve the cocktail-making experience with its glass-reduction, but also stand out from the crowd (just like the liquid inside). It’s with this bold new look that we’re looking forward to shaking up the drinks’ cabinets of Monkey Shoulder fans around the world, as well as grabbing the attention of those starting to explore the world of whisky for the first time.”

The newly packaged bottle will be available in mid-2024 in countries where Monkey Shoulder is sold, available in the best bars and retailers globally.

Monkey Shoulder, the world’s first made for mixing blended malt whisky

In 2005, Monkey Shoulder, the world’s first made for mixing blended malt whisky, burst into the world of whisky, and it has been breaking the conventions of the category ever since. Developed as the ultimate mixing whisky for cocktails, Monkey Shoulder Original Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is blended in small batches of Speyside’s finest single malt whiskies then married together. Rich, smooth and fruity, the original blend is bold enough to be mixed, yet balanced enough to enjoy neat. This unique blend gets its name from when turning the malting barley was still done by hand.
