The cocktail renaissance has accomplished two very important things: A) Cocktail lounge nightlife is no longer a farcical, saccharine sweet nightmare with no class, and B) Gastronomy has developed alongside modern mixology and the two come together in beautiful ways. The Tunnel Vision by Mike Perez of Death & Co.'s LA location is a perfect example of both of these things: A balanced and unique variation of a Pina Colada featuring carrot and coconut and botanicals, oh my!
