Psst: Chateau Marmont Has a Secret Drink Menu

We're somewhat on the fence about restaurants and bars having secret menus and secret drinks. Even at In-N-Out, to have to know to ask for special offerings strikes the consumer as a bit gimmicky.
But there are times when we'll still play along (animal style being one of them, bring on the fucking onions) like when there are delicious alcoholic beverages involved.
And involved they are, at Chateau Marmont's new hotel bar. The swank watering hole has a list of seven on-the-DL drinks, and over at LA Magazine, Caroline on Crack got her hands on the whole thing and reran it. So next time you find yourself underwhelmed with the WeHo hotel's regular cocktail selections, ask for the special menu, and you will get this:
Blase: Nolet’s dry gin, Amaro Ciociaro, Averna, Luxardo cherry liqueur Forbidden Fizz: Rittenhouse rye, Miracle Mile Forbidden bitters, fresh lime juice, housemade grenadine, sugar, egg white.
Valet: A mezcal daiquiri made with Vida mezcal, cinnamon syrup, fresh lime juice, chocolate-chili bitters.
Le Fiance: No. 3 dry gin, Green Chartreuse, Cynar, orgeat, fresh lemon juice, Santa Maria float.
Short & Stout: Sazerac rye, fresh lemon juice, honey, Angostura bitters, oatmeal stout.
Kill for Love: Bluecoat dry gin, applejack, spicy plum syrup, fresh lemon juice.
Frozen Rose: Martin Miller gin, aquavit, orgeat, fresh lemon juice, orange bitters, rose water
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
