There’s no better way to celebrate a warm summer afternoon than with a cold, carefully crafted cocktail—and Descanso Costa Mesa delivers exactly that. Whether you're visiting after shopping at South Coast Plaza or headed to a local concert, the restaurant’s bar menu is designed to refresh, recharge, and impress. With a focus on high-quality spirits and fresh seasonal ingredients, every drink is thoughtfully composed.

Signature cocktails include the Mango 43, made with Licor 43, mango puree, lime, and a tajín rim—tropical, tangy, and perfectly chilled.
