Need a reason to indulge in dessert? Neither do we, but Jan. 23 does happen to be National Pie Day. For the sweet holiday, sip these four fabulous pie-inspired cocktails from various spots around SoCal. Plus, pies in liquid form have less calories, right?
Sherry Pie at Gesso Restaurant
This is our kind of pie! The Sherry Pie cocktail from Gesso is shaken with bourbon, sherry, peach purée, egg white and crumbled streusel for an all-out delicious drink.

Rye Pie at Honeycut
Inspired by Andy Warhol, Honeycut’s artsy Rye Pie cocktail is made with Rittenhouse Bonded Rye, St. George Raspberry Liquor, clear creek kirschwasser and lemon cordial. This drink certainly deserves more than just 15 minutes of fame.

Cobbler at The Palm
One of The Palm’s signature cocktails, the Cobbler is made with Zacapa 23-year-old rum, Dry Sack Sherry, fresh berries, hand-squeezed lemon juice, orange, Angostura bitters and served on the rocks. This one will never go out of style.

The Other Pie at Luchini Pizzeria & Bar
While snacking on a pizza pie at Luchini Pizzeria & Bar, order The Other Pie, a sweet cocktail made with Maker’s 46” bourbon, muddled blackberries, peach puree’, vanilla nectar and lemon juice. The sprinkled cinnamon on top finishes off this rich drink perfectly.
