Lucille’s Smokehouse is known for authentic Southern barbecue, from their tender baby back ribs and tri-tip to their hickory-smoked sausages. But when it comes to satisfying that sweet tooth, they’ve concocted a delightfully boozy dessert in a cup for the cocktail tour. Dubbed the Drink Before Midnight, it’s made with Mount Gay Dark Rum, real pumpkin purée, Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur and sweet cream, which is then shaken and served with a generous heaping of whipped cream and Nilla Wafer crumble.

Luna Rossa Ristorante

Renowned for classic Italian comforts like wood-fired pizza, spit-roasted meat and pastas that are made in-house daily, Luna Rossa has been serving Tustin for nearly a decade. They’ve put a spin on classic Italian cocktails with two specialty drinks: T the Italian Buck, made with Nonino L’Aperitivo, fresh lime juice, ginger beer and mint, and the October Mist–featuring Amaro Nonino, Aperol, bourbon and fresh lemon juice.

Since opening in Japan in 2011 and making its way to Tustin, RAKKAN has grown in popularity due to its authentic, 100% plant-based ramen broth. For the cocktail tour, they’ve developed their very own sake! The Matcha Nigori Sake is a slightly dry sake with subtly sweet Japanese green tea flavor, lingering on a note of sweet honeydew and pistachio, served either hot or iced.
