*NEW* Hibiscus Apple Juice (non-alcoholic) – $5.49
Hibiscus Syrup, with Lime and Apple Juice
This is fine but not spectacular. It just tastes like less potent apple juice. A fun drink for those who don’t partake in alcohol, but the Ginger-Lychee Lemonade is a better choice.
*NEW* Golden Firecracker – $15.00
Soju, Ginger Lychee Lemonade with Lychee Flavor-filled Boba, garnished with Basil
Another soju cocktail, similar to the one over at Paradise Garden Grill, but where that one was complex, this one falls flat. The soju gives it a fermented taste, but other than that, it’s just sweet. The lychee-filled boba are nice, but unless you intentionally pop them, they don’t do much to change the flavor of the cocktail. Overall, we would skip this one in favor of the better ones.
*NEW* Full Moon Fizz – $15.00
Gin, Ginger Beer, Dragon Fruit Syrup, and Lime Juice
The Full Moon Fizz is great. The dragon fruit syrup dominates this drink, making it very sweet but drinkable. No alcohol bite, so it’s easy to have three or four of these without noticing. We really enjoyed this one.
*NEW* Green-Eyed Tiger – $15.00
Whiskey, Peach Schnapps, Sweet & Sour topped with Sprite
This is an odd and underwhelming cocktail. The whiskey and peach Schnapps are lost; it just tastes like vaguely-fruit flavored water. It’s hard to identify any of the flavors they say are there. The sweet and sour mix dominates it. Skip this one.
*NEW* Dancing Dragon – $15.00
Whiskey and Hibiscus Syrup, with Lime Juice and Apple Juice
This is the best cocktail on offer at Hollywood Lounge. The flavor of the Scotch comes through prevalently, providing the smoke of the dragon. The sweetness of the hibiscus balances it out and makes it a supremely enjoyable cocktail. It is still sweet as most drinks are at this establishment, but it works for this one where so many others are overdone. We very much enjoyed this cocktail, and we will be back for it again before the season is over.
