Newport Beach has always been a magnet for those who appreciate the finer things—luxury real estate, pristine coastlines, and a vibrant culinary scene.
At Lido Bottleworks, that elevated lifestyle takes center stage with a garden-to-glass cocktail program designed for people who know quality when they see—and taste—it. Known for fresh-from-the-farm California coastal cuisine, this waterfront restaurant now brings that same philosophy to every glass, creating drinks as artful as the dishes they accompany. Here’s our list of the best cocktails this Newport Beach mainstay has to offer.
In Fashion
Whiskey gets a luxurious twist with in-house fig and pea flower infusions, layered with agave, bitters, and cherry. Bar Manager Zack Lovejoy explains, “From house-made infusions to creative garnishes, we’re building each drink with purpose.” Pair with the Flannery Ribeye—rich, bold, and cozy, much like the warm elegance found in high-end properties across Newport Beach.
Pod Racer
This adventurous blend features pea-infused tequila, nori liqueur, simple syrup, and lime. Chef Joel Gutierrez suggests enjoying it with Pork Chop Katsu. The pairing is as surprising and delightful as finding a luxury estate in Dana Point with both ocean views and private gardens.
Secret Garden
Kokomo rum meets tarragon, mint, and Shiner Strawberry Blonde beer, topped with edible strawberry fruit leather. Paired with Mary’s Chicken, it’s a fresh, vibrant match—reminiscent of a sunny afternoon in Laguna Beach luxury real estatewith sea breezes at your door.
Vaquero
Weber Ranch vodka, roasted papaya, ginger beer, and lime combine for a taste of the Southwest with tropical flair. Try it with steelhead trout, where citrus cuts through richness just like modern design elevates timeless Orange County real estate.
Whether you’re a local, exploring as a national relocation client, or discovering the area as an international buyer, Newport Beach offers more than homes—it offers a way of life. Experiences like sipping these craft cocktails embody the energy, creativity, and sophistication that define our community.
