Lucy Blue
@lucybluebar
Look out for a week packed with spirited happenings at Lucy Blue! Expect special events and activities like guided spirit tastings, educational classes, tasting dinners like champagne & caviar bumps — plus surprise collaborations and exclusive menu features. Join us as we celebrate Oakland’s cocktail culture in true Lucy Blue fashion: bold, creative, and unforgettable.
Featuring our partner Campari USA and showcasing Courvoisier in the spotlight, The Golden Comeup is Lucy Blue’s nod to Oakland’s rise—bold, artful, and unapologetically original. This smoked milk punch blends Courvoisier’s rich cognac depth with tropical notes of banana and pineapple, a whisper of pastis, and a silky salted whey finish. It’s history and hustle in a glass: smooth, complex, and ready for the spotlight.
