"When you've been serving drinks since 1856, you learn a thing or two about what makes people gather, laugh, and create memories. The National Bar - affectionately known as "The Nash" by locals in Nevada City, California - has just unveiled their most playful winter cocktail menu yet, and it's all about capturing those unforgettable moments that happen when friends and family come together."
"A Legacy of Gathering The Nash isn't just any bar. Tucked within the historic National Exchange Hotel, this watering hole has been rumored to be the longest continually running establishment west of the Mississippi, alongside the nearby Golden Gate Saloon in Grass Valley. After reopening to the public in 2021 following an extensive renovation, The Nash has once again become the heart of Nevada City's social scene."
"The Dessert Experience Drink Your Dessert by Iris Bocianowski combines South Fork Vodka with crème de menthe, cacao, and oat milk. This dairy-free creation merges the classic grasshopper with chocolate martini elements, proving that "grandma's cookies are overrated." For food and beverage managers looking to expand their non-dairy offerings, this cocktail demonstrates how traditional flavors can be reimagined for modern dietary preferences."
