Adam Fleischman, who founded the Umami Burger chain, is launching a new venture called SourTooth, which takes the form of a non-alcoholic vegan pop-up bar in Los Angeles. The pop-up shares a plant-based, alcohol-free twist on classic cocktails like the Nina Colada made with coconut milk, the matcha-infused Japanese Ceremony and Dragon’s Breath with fiery jalapeño peppers. To enhance any drink with a healthful twist, SourTooth offers optional superfood add-ins like adaptogenic ashwagandha, ginseng and baobab.
Alongside its unique drinks, SourTooth also offers a food menu called MeatTooth that is full of meat alternatives. According to Fleischman, "I am trying to push myself to create the world’s best vegan burgers and chicken, and other things."
