Chef David Myer’s modern French brasserie, Comme Ça, has a beverage menu called “18a.” Named after the 18th Amendment, which brought about Prohibition in 1919, it features a rotating list of cocktails created with small-batch and artisanal spirits combined with such ingredients as house-made blueberry syrup, house-made violet liqueur and red bell peppers.
But the restaurant, which opened in Los Angeles in October 2007, also offers a more permanent drink list that compliments the restaurant’s uncomplicated, ingredient-focused fare. The Rumble is just such a drink, made with rum, lemon juice, simple syrup and fresh blackberries, served over crushed ice for $12.
