Night on Earth<\/a>, Cahuenga Pass\u2019s neon-drenched, 1980s-themed cocktail bar from the team behind Thunderbolt<\/a>, recently introduced a fresh lineup of cocktails priced to combat the ever-rising costs of living in 2026. Night on Earth\u2019s new menu offers mini cocktails at $8, while full-sized boozy beverages run a reasonable $13.<\/p>\n

The new menu brings drinks such as the Odd Throuple with rye whiskey, an apple-miso distillate vapor, buckwheat honey, beeswax, and pecan to Night on Earth, along with the Desnudo y Crudo with tequila, sotol, papaya, horchata, and orange. A total of 10 new drinks are available, with $10 nonalcoholic options as well. Regulars have little to worry about; they\u2019ll prepare the old favorites and traditional ones as well. The $7 teriyaki-glazed beef hot dogs with togarashi Kewpie mayonnaise on a potato bun also remain on the menu.<\/p>\n

Night On Earth\u2019s co-owners obsess over experimentation as part of their cocktail development process, fermenting uncommon ingredients like cherries and sourcing from small alcohol producers. It often takes the team two to three days to make a base for each drink, including custom refrigeration and batching out specific ingredients. The bar is also committed to reducing waste.<\/p>\n

Night on Earth is among a handful of Los Angeles restaurants and bars turning towards smaller-sized drinks<\/a>. Hermon\u2019s Tiny \u2019Tini<\/a> is a current Los Angeles favorite, while Santa Monica\u2019s Pasjoli<\/a> prepares multiple miniature martinis for $15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This month, Night on Earth and Thunderbolt co-founder Mike Capoferri will kick off a collaboration with Japanese lifestyle brand Kinto for a summer cocktail series<\/a> at Row DTLA. The series will run from Friday, August 28, through Sunday, October 11, with seatings from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays, and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.<\/p>\n
