Legendary guitarist Jimmy Hendrix sang about “ Voodoo Child .” Now , Farmhouse at Roger ’ s Gardens has named a cocktail after the song .
Voodoo Child is one of three new spring cocktails on the menu at Farmhouse . The others are also named after noted songs , and performers : Eleutheria ( Lenny Kravitz ) and Kozmic Blue ( Janis Joplin ).
Farmhouse ’ s lead bartender Corey
Levine and his team created these concoctions , which join the weekly Swig for Selflessness offering which features a new cocktail each week and benefits a local charity with 50 percent of proceeds donated .
Launched in 2019 , Farmhouse ’ s weekly Swig for Selflessness initiative has grown every year , with more than $ 50,000 donated to local charities in 2022 alone .
Farmhouse Owner & Executive
Chef Rich Mead makes weekly trips to the Santa Monica Farmers Market to source the freshest local ingredients . Levine ’ s seasonally inspired menu incorporates many of these ingredients in his cocktails .
The botanicals of the gin cocktail , Kozmic Blue , made with berry shrub , lemon and soda , capture the essence of spring for a bright , sparkling and refreshing warm-weather sip .
The two rum cocktails , Eleutheria and Voodoo Child , showcase a more focused approach to rum as a base spirit and use different amari ( herbal liqueur ) to bring layers throughout the cocktails . Eleutheria features rum , pear amaro , lime , honey , prosecco , and angostura , while Voodoo Child ingredients include rum , hibiscus , amaro , and pineapple .
Farmhouse is also featuring a diverse range of rum offerings this spring highlighting rums from different regions .
Farmhouse offers the cocktails for sipping in its al fresco garden setting or you can get them to go , but why pass up an opportunity to enjoy Chef Mead ’ s incredible cuisine , which changes seasonally and uses ingredients that Chef Mead has sourced from his longtime purveyors .
