West Hollywood's 20-year-old gathering place, The Abbey, has just been named "Best Gay Bar in the World" for a second time in LOGO's annual Gay Travel Awards.Once upon a time, The Abbey was just a small, cozy coffeehouse, which, over the years, has transformed into a food and drink destination for the West Hollywood community. A series of renovations, including one that is slated to be completed early next year, is helping the bar and restaurant better serve its ever-growing customer base.
In honor of their big gay award, The Abbey has created "The Best Gay Cocktail in the World," ($12). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the cocktail will benefit The Trevor Project, one of The Abbey’s favorite charities.
We were curious, as you might be too, as to just what goes into "The Best Gay Cocktail in the World," (curb your dirty mind, kids!). The Abbey was generous enough to share with us the ingredients to their newest addition to their expansive specialty cocktail menu.
The Best Gay Cocktail in the World
A Handful of Fresh Raspberries
A Handful of Fresh Blueberries
4 oz Finlandia Wild Berries Fusion
4 oz Dekuyper Mixed Berry Medley Schnapps
A Splash of Sour Mix
A Splash of Grenadine
Cheers to the Abbey on their award, and for their two decades of serving West Hollywood.
