The flavorful New American dishes coming out of chef Timothy Hollingsworth’s gleaming open kitchen have been drawing in diners since late 2015. Whether you stop in to relax after a day at the adjacent The Broad museum, or make it part of a night out in downtown LA, you’re going to want a light, refreshing sip that complements the modern space and menu. Try the Seedlip Grove cocktail, which mingles Seedlip Grove 42 with yuzu honey, Meyer lemon, and sparkling water. It’s served in a coupe glass and topped with dehydrated lemon.

The glam hotel lounge is back and there’s no better place to dip your toe in the nightlife waters than at this looker in Beverly Grove with crushed velvet sofas and a full lineup of entertainment. Let the No-groni cocktail charm you with its beguiling combo of Seedlip Spice 94, verjus rouge, tea with hints of cinnamon, orange, wormwood, and vanilla. It’s the perfect drink to go with the evening’s events, which runs from Monday jazz night to Wednesday salsa night to Thursday drag show. Friday and Saturday nights are when DJ Annie Sollange turns up the volume with a live DJ set.

There’s a California sensibility to the Southeast Asian leaning menu from husband-and-wife culinary duos Bryant and Kim Ng and Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan. Expect to chow down on dishes like whole grilled sea bass and raw spicy scallops in the modern, airy dining room. And for a booze-free drink option, try the Garden Gimlet, served in a Schotts Zwiesel martini glass. It’s the perfect foil, with the herby hints of rosemary, thyme, and spearmint from Seedlip Garden 108 and plenty of lime. 

The “scratch” in the 22-seat Encino restaurant’s name is taken seriously at the spot helmed by  chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee. And it’s not just the food that gets the by-hand treatment, the drinks do too —  including the nonalcoholic ones. Take the Pom Star, an earthy combination of house-made hibiscus grenadine, house-fermented pomegranate vinegar, and fresh lime juice with cardamom spice sprinkled on top. Reservations are scarce and Scratch is only open from Wednesday through Sunday, so plan ahead for this one.

Slip into the speakeasy vibe, even if you’re skipping the liquor, at this dark and sultry cocktail den. The proper cocktail menu is organized by flavor profiles, like “fresh and lively” or “elegant and timeless,” and the expert bartenders will whip up something nonalcoholic using whatever cues you provide. For something on the bright side, try the refreshing Buko Gimlet, made with Seedlip Garden 108, coconut water, pandan syrup, and fresh lime. With a menu of bites that run from savory (buttermilk fried chicken) to sweet (olive oil cake), it’s a downtown destination with legs.

It’s hard to stop at Eataly for lunch or dinner without picking up some top-notch olive oil or dried pasta from the mother country. Those kinds of simple but high-quality ingredients are the same you’ll find at its rooftop perch Terra, whether you’re having food from the wood-burning grill, drinks, or both. The booze-free strawberry grove spritz is an elegant affair that melds Seedlip Grove 42, house-made strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and soda water — it’s the perfect beverage to toast to the rooftop views.

There are a lot of good reasons to have El Cid in Silver Lake on your “for a good time” short list. There’s the flamenco show every Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the delish Spanish tapas and food (patatas bravas, croquettes de chorizo, paella), sure. And then there’s the pitch-perfect Valencia, in which mint and lime are muddled like a mojito — the alcohol-free drink is tied together by herby hints of rosemary, thyme, and spearmint in Seedlip’s Garden 108, lime juice, and a little simple syrup.

The primo spot to relax and refresh at this West Hollywood hotel is on The Roof where you can sip Latin-inspired cocktails while eyeing the view. Like the Pink Lady: the pretty drink sets the night alight with a pleasant jolt from its mix of Seedlip Spice 94 (with its aromatic blend of allspice and cardamom), a hint of sweetness from strawberry, bite from Fresno chili, and a yuzu citrus tang. Get it with the crab nachos and super green Caesar salad for a perfect night out under the stars.

This West Hollywood cocktail hot spot is beloved for its gorgeous, sippable cocktails. Thankfully, its nonalcoholic concoctions show the same attention to detail and flavor-forward approach as the boozy ones. Take the Tropikal Fizz — made with citrusy Seedlip Grove 42, pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, egg white, and a little soda water — served in a Collins glass and garnished with the housemade honey pineapple ice. Your munchies are taken care of here too, especially via the taco Tuesday collaboration with the popup Metzli Taqueria.
