Splashes Bar at
Surf & Sand Resort
Laguna Beach, CA
Splashes Bar at the five-star Surf & Sand Resort is where Josh Suchan currently makes his home as Lead Bartender. He was brought onboard to reimagine and elevate the cocktail program to mirror the resort's new remodel and iconic Laguna Beach lifestyle. Here, Josh runs the bar program's creative direction and is often behind the bar entertaining guests and being on the front lines of service. In 2025, just 3 months after the bar reopened after the remodel, one of the signature cocktails was published by Preferred Hotels & Resorts' Crafted Cocktail Book to be showcased in each hotel and luxury hotel tradeshow. ​

OtoÑo
Highland Park, Los Angeles
When developing Otoño's cocktail program, regional Spanish spirits and flavors passed through the lens of American cocktail trends to create a merging of worlds. The recipes explored traditional and modern preparation and bar technique, Spanish and local ingredients, and had a focus on the often overlooked elegance of pairing the perfect gin with the perfect tonic water and aromatic botanicals. Elevated in-house prep included ingredients like sadas, bottled cocktails, sous-vide syrups, and more and was recognized as one of LA's top cocktail destinations of 2018 by Eater LA.

Skylight Gardens
Westwood, Los Angeles
This family-owned 200+ seat concept was using the soda gun as their main tool for cocktails. They decided not to just update their program, but to become THE cocktail authority in Westwood and hold their own in the Los Angeles bar scene. With Ice & Alchemy's assistance, a bar redesign was done with all the proper fixings and ergonomics that fit the bartenders' needs like a glove. The cocktail menu included recipes ranging from simple to dynamic and the neighborhood's response was overwhelmingly positive. Over Ice and Alchemy's two year involvement, the restaurant doubled its revenue and established itself as the top cocktail destination in Westwood.

Los Balcones
Hollywood, Los Angeles
This 70+ seat restaurant was looking to breathe new life into their cocktails and have ongoing management of their bar program. Regionalism played a large role when determining which spirits and flavors were to touch the new menu. Each recipe was created to exemplify Peruvian Pisco and tap into the flavors of Latin America and was recognized by Johnathan Gold as having an excellent Pisco Sour in his LA Times article.
