New cocktail mixer won\u2019t leave drinkers high and dry<\/b> VLING, a new category of electrolyte-infused drink mixers, is breaking ground in the cocktail industry by providing a healthy alternative to re-hydrating without changing consumers\u2019 drinking habits. Mixers including tonic and soda water, cranberry-pomegranate and citrus flavors contain no caffeine and are low in calories, sugar and carbohydrates. The mixers are high in electrolytes \u2014 double the amount contained in a leading sports drink \u2013 which re-hydrate cells typically depleted of hydration by alcohol and counter the effects of dehydration and that dreaded hangover. Consumers can hydrate at any of San Diego\u2019s participating locations including the Se Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, Andaz Hotel and Side Bar. Ask for a \u2018hydrated\u2019 cocktail and for a healthier alternative to drinking without changing your choice of cocktail.

Celebrity chef re-creates House of Blues menu <\/b>
Along with every other House of Blues location throughout the nation, House of Blues San Diego is turning its dining enclave into, quite literally, a “Crossroads.” The restaurant and music venue is rebranding its dining side to become one of celebrity chef Aar\u00f3n Sanchez\u2019s latest acquisitions. For the past six months, the Food Network star has re-created the chain\u2019s nationwide menu from southern style cuisine to “Tex-Mex.” The new menu will feature some signature dishes, while the local HOB will include a few original creations inspired by San Diego\u2019s unique gastronomy. Look for the soft launch of the new menu in August, with a grand opening party in September. \u2014 Meaghan Clark<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
