The Holy Diver, a rye, Scotch, coconut, cinnamon, lime and grapefruit drink in Black Lagoon's signature glass., an immersive pop-up with plenty of creepy, macabre elements, is coming to Yacht Club in the Clayton neighborhood October 17-31.
"We wanted to go to cities with strong countercultures, like goth kids, and work with amazing cocktail partners," says Hayes, who was at a preview of the pop-up on August 23. She and Ramage also wanted their Black Lagoon to go to bartender-owned bars, particularly those run by women. "I am always very wary of pop-ups," Wright admits."It can be a great way to experiment and see what works, but that can also be jarring for the guests, and it's hard to hit that stride and make it dynamic enough and not a waste of time or money."
