ABOUT
A daiquiri born from L.A. street tacos. This cocktail was created by the wildly talented Branden von Fugate (@thisisacocktailbook). This one was inspired by the flavors of al pastor street tacos. He survived on these for years while he lived in Los Angeles – in fact, he named this drink Los Angeles when he put it on his opening menu at Sueño, though changed it after another similar name sounding cocktail was making the rounds. The new name is a Zelda reference, but also a reference to the motorcycle he always rode to get these tacos. If you’re not already following Branden, fix that. His cocktails are thoughtful, bold, and never boring. Cheers y’all!
