Fun fact: the balsamic vinegar from Modena is so good, Luciano Pavarotti used to drizzle in on his ice cream. It’s a triple threat: sweet, tart, and shelf stable. I wanted to harness this goodness in a hot drink, because we can all use some soothing. .
Check it: Luciano’s Quarantoddy .

Mix 1/2 tsp of honey with a splash of hot water in a mug and stir to dissolve. Add 2 oz #Bertoux Brandy, 1/2 oz balsamic vinegar, and 3-4 oz strong ginger tea. Stir to combine and give it one good crack of fresh black pepper on top (or, if necessary, a dusting of black pepper from one of those packets that comes in take-out utensil packs). .

I’m staying positive with small comforts: a soothing beverage, long video chats with family & pals, and trying to invent new uses for every item in my pantry. I’m encouraging my crew at @rappbardtla to keep their creative juices flowing so we can put together the best menu of all time when we’re all back together behind the bar. .

Introducing... the L.A. Bodega on Wheels! 🚚 We’re thrilled to partner with our friends at @coolhaus, @101.coffeeshop, @minibarhollywood, and @futuregin to power this temporary rolling bodega, which will start hitting streets this Tuesday. Featuring an assortment of prepared food, produce, pantry staples, sweets, and booze (including all of our cans!), it's our way of providing a little isolation salvation for our fellow Angelenos. (Plus: it'll help put some hard-working folks affected by this crisis back to work.) We'll also be donating 10% of all proceeds to multiple charities that need our help right now, including @lafoodbank and @nouswithoutyou. Head to labodegaonwheels.com for more info & to place your orders! #selfisolationsalvation #lastrong #supportlocal
