Hold on to your head, it’s Daily Juice After Dark
My good buddy and co-owner of the Daily Juice, Matt Shook, has been mixing his delicious fresh juices with liquor for friends for years. Whether at a party or a poker game, Shook has wowed folks with his passionate mixology, making tasty cocktails sans sugary mixers that not only hit you right in your pleasure center but mitigate any nasty hangover in the morning.
Now, Shook and his business partner Keith Wahrer are bringing their creative cocktails to the masses, with Daily Juice After Dark. The juice purveyors are teaming up with The Belmont for the Thursday night events that run from 8 p.m. - midnight, beginning tonight.
A few weeks ago I went to a small gathering where Shook was trying out recipes for his latest venutre. He made up a host of cocktails with ingredients ranging from black cherry coconut water to goji berries, raw cacao nibs and living B vitamins. Dude does not mess around.
The wild-eyed drink master prides himself on his palate, and is as good a chef as he is a mixologist. His appreciation and understanding of flavor components has led him to make such drinks as the Jalapiña Margarita, a combination of fresh pineapple, jalapeño, lime, orange, organic raw agave nectar, Himalayan crystal salt and Sauza Hornitos tequila. Amazing.
Head over to The Belmont tonight and try one of the amazing cocktails and enjoy liquor (and juice) like you never have before.
And, for all of those who may be concerned, The Belmont does have TVs, so you can probably expect to be able to watch the NBA Finals while you sip on your fancy cocktails. And pardon me while I go all Out & About on you, but there is also a sweet show over at Antone’s featuring Tacks, The Boy Disaster, Golden Bear and my friends The Mercers. So why not make a night of it? You can always cab it home.

I don’t see heatwaves on the menu. I also heard there were going to be free kombucha shots with every moustache.

Jalapina Margarita, por favor. Number one, with a bullet.
Your formatting skills are quite impressive.

Heatwaves should be paired with anchovy-infused lime sorbet for maximum enjoyment.
