Mia Sarazen, who has made a for herself crafting cocktail programs at SoHo House, Harvard & Stone, Black Market Liquor Bar, and the Tasting Kitchen, will be taking over the beverage program at The Churchill in West Hollywood.
The restaurant has been open since October of last year, and is looking to up the ante when it comes to their drinks. The new program will launch tomorrow. According to the cre at the bar/restaurant, Sarazen's menu will focus on approachability and fresh ingredients. Sounds basic, but those are the buliding blocks for a good cocktail program.
