I went to Gigi's for the first time yesterday to eat, but the restaurant was closed by the time I got there; however, the nice indoor/outdoor bar was open, and the cocktail menu was very interesting. I chose Beets by Gigi's because how could I resist a cocktail with beet juice in it. It contained El Silencio Mezcal, Lime, Fresh Beet Juice, Yuzu, Agave, and Angostura Bitters. It came with a Tajin rim, and it was shaken with ice and strained over ice. It was garnished with an edible marigold flower and an in house dehydrated lime slice. I got the leftover in a shot glass from the very nice lady bartender, and she even garnished that with another crispy lime slice. The cocktail was not too sweet, and it had a nice color and presentation. I could taste the smoky mezcal and the beet juice, but there's more to it. There's some sour, some spice, and some bitter, but all in harmony. The bartender said, “It's an experience.”
