For a trip to the tropics, there's no better way to go than an island-inspired drink from Tommy Bahama. Whether you want something effervescent, something sweet or subtle, the combinations offered at this Laguna hotspot aren't what you'll find at bars anywhere else.

A restaurant that boasts conscious right in the name is sure to put some thought into their cocktails, right? Good thing Andrei's gets everything right. Though they're not pushing for innovation, the drink they have on offer aren't your run-of-the-mill bar droughts. Expect great spins on classics, like Chilean-spiced vodka or a basil-cucumber gimlet.

At a restaurant that boasts farmer's market-fresh ingredients and farm-to-table feasts, you can bet that their cocktail list reflects that, too. With mixers that include heirloom tomato and kumquat (they change all the time, naturally) you can bet that you'll be getting a fresh take on some old school ideas at the Cellar.

Electrolyte enhanced vodka? Oxley Gin and organic cucumber vodka? Sorrento Grill is upping the ante when it comes to creative cocktails. Settle in at this beachside retreat and you'll be presented with cocktails that your daddy definitely won't recognize. They're not just for creative types though, trust us, one sip of these niche drinks and you'll be back for more.
