Brandy Milk Punch at Noble Experiment
Just last week, Noble Experiment’s inventive bar master Anthony Schmidt took home his second consecutive title in the local Bartender Challenge hosted by El Dorado. Just days later, Anthony, along with the entire Noble Experiment team, introduced a new winter cocktail menu. This edgy speakeasy is considered the Mecca for handcrafted cocktails in San Diego, and the new spirits on this menu are guaranteed to keep you warm all season long. Indulge your sweet tooth with the Brandy Milk Punch, made with Cognac, milk, cane sugar and vanilla extract. More signature cocktails to try include the Rattlesnake, a bold blend of Rye, Absinthe, lemon, sugar and egg white; and St. Cecilia, made with Apple Brandy, ginger, lime, all spice, bitters and club soda.
The Ugly Sweater at El Dorado Cocktail Lounge

The winter menu features five new spirits, and will be unveiled during the launch party on December 20th.
