- Optimist Botanicals
“One of my favorite California brands is OPTIMIST, which makes distilled spirits. They make a Fresh, a Bright and a Smokey — they’re all distilled botanical spirits. The Smokey is a little bit more like a mezcal replacement. The Fresh and the Bright are like different gin expressions.” —Nick Bodkins, Boisson owner.
