SIP-tember is upon us and this festive month of drinking allows Pasadena restaurants to show off their favorite cocktails for a chance to win the title of Cocktail of the Year.

POP Champagne Bar is offering two cocktails – so far the only wine-based drinks we’ve seen – alongside their daily souffle menu. These 2 signature drinks have enough sparkle and fizz to make your night shine.

The POP Punch is a combination of Little Rouge and sparkling wine with a dash of Angostura and lavender bitters plus Luxardo cherry, lemon peel and a sprig of lavender. This bright, fun drink is one of their most POPular choices and a great pick for parties.

Try the Bellini Noir for a sophisticated take on a peach bellini. This two-tone drink combines white peach puree with sparkling wine and a red wine float for an impressive cocktail. It seamlessly combines the fullness of red wine and the sweetness of peaches.

As always, you can’t go wrong with one of POP’s daily souffles in flavors like English Toffee and Berry Nutella. These dessert masterpieces come hot from the oven and feature a crispy crust with a gooey center and pot of anglaise.
