James Beard Award winning chef Andy Ricker of Portland, Oregon’s Pok Pok created Som to enhance his highly acclaimed bar program, believing bold and complex flavors should be experienced through both food and drink. First introduced as Pok Pok Som in 2012, Som relaunched in 2019 with elevated new packaging and expressions. Som now celebrates the intersection of discerning craft cocktail enthusiasts and alcohol free beverages.
“More and more, people are looking for diversity in drink options that are complex, experiential and deliver a wide array of flavors – without alcohol. They don’t want to compromise taste, atmosphere or experience, whether they are choosing to drink alcohol or not. Som offers patrons the option of having a zero proof drink with an experience equal to the one they’d get if they were ordering a well made cocktail: a high quality brand, balanced sophisticated flavor, and thoughtful craft from the bartender.” – Chef Andy Ricker, Creator of Som
Our signature serve is a Som & Soda – one part Som to four parts soda water. It’s fresh and sophisticated, ideal for any setting that calls for a non-alcoholic beverage with complexity and bite. Som can also be combined in spirit based drinks to create adventurous, fresh and flavorful cocktails. Look for Som on menus at critically acclaimed restaurants and bars nationwide.
