DRINK

The Mothership has landed 🛸

We’ve been seeing some alien messages recently, and we’re on a mission to crack the code.

We're blasting off to Mothership. | Photos via @intothevoidinc

Our data tells us to brace for the arrival of Mothership tomorrow in South Park. The new cocktail lounge + vegan-friendly eatery is the second project from Kory Stetina, owner of KINDRED. And, much like the existence of aliens, there’s a zero-proof mocktail menu that’s just as adventurous as the bar’s boozy counterparts. 👽

Mothership features a menu of out-of-this-world drinks centered around the interplanetary theme. Like its earthly sibling KINDRED, the cocktails are an over-the-top experience — should you choose to accept this mission.

THE WRAP

Editor’s pick: Happy Monday, San Diego. Historically, August is the hottest month in the city, but I won’t let that stop me from getting out + having fun. I’ll just take some extra trips to the beach, make sure to stay locally hydrated, and stock up on locally-made beach essentials. If it gets too hot outside, I’ve been looking for an excuse to visit the new Wynston’s Ice Cream in San Marcos.
