Mark your calendars: on January 26th, Sour Balls lands at @alleycatlounge for another night of boozy brilliance. ✨🍸🍒

Sour Balls returns with another night devoted to innovating sours and elevating highballs, continuing the series’ spirit of experimentation and exchange. For this installment, the format stays fun and unpredictable as the bartenders once again switch roles behind the stick — Ausar (@rhumdiary) will be crafting highballs, while Daniel (@dameroon) takes on the sour side of the menu.

Join us January 26th, 2026, at @alleycatlounge, where classic cocktails meet playful experimentation in a setting that’s equal parts moody and magnetic. Expect thoughtful drinks, sharp technique, and just enough surprise to keep things interesting.

The most recent installment at The Hawthorne Mini Bar was an absolute blast — the kind of night where the room felt alive from the first pour to last call. Glasses clinked, conversations flowed, and the energy landed somewhere between laid-back and electric. It was a reminder that Sour Balls isn’t just about what’s in the glass, but the people who show up curious, open, and ready to have a good time.

If the past few pop-ups are any indication, this one won’t be a quiet sip — it’ll be another night worth leaning into.
