Signature cocktails at Slowly in Pacific Beach, featuring colorful martinis, tropical drinks, and floral garnishes on the bar

Our Approach

Classic foundations, seasonal accents: spirit-forward builds and citrus-driven refreshers tuned for balance.

Balance over gimmicks: spirit, acid, sweetness, bitterness—kept in line so the last sip tastes like the first.

Technique that serves flavor: proper ice, controlled dilution, clean clarifications, and glassware that fits the build.

Signature Cocktails (a taste)

Day Dream Spritz — Amaro, sparkling wine, and grapefruit juice in one bright, dreamy pour.

Lazy Lavender Lemon Drop — peaflower gin with lavender and elderflower syrup — smooth, floral, quietly dangerous.

Red or White Sangria — wine, Absolut Mandarin, peach Schnapps, pineapple, passion fruit, and a hint of sparkle.

Leo’s Nice & Easy Negroni — gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari — simple, proper, timeless.

Bonfire Espresso Martini — vodka, espresso, and white chocolate liqueur, finished with a torched marshmallow — a Landini’s signature.

Food That Loves Our Drinks

Refreshing cocktails meet flavorful dishes from the kitchen—bright, clean, satisfying.
