One thing that truly ramped up in the age of COVID-19 was the consumption of alcohol and frankly, some of us could use a welcome break from the booze but might miss the social interaction.

Inspired by the sights and sounds of Los Angeles, OPTIMIST offers three options of BRIGHT, FRESH, and SMOKEY, all of which are pretty self-explanatory. OPTIMIST worked with a lot of the nation’s top bartenders, who have all helped the company create some visually arresting and equally tasty beverages to boot. Besides, you can knock back a few without the worry of a hangover later.
