Cocktail of the Week - Archive
The Pomegranate Margarita

The Pomegranate Margarita

I've featured drinks from many parts of Los Angeles, and now it's time to quench our thirst for a refreshing libation in the San Fernando Valley. 

Amaranta is the festive, new, upscale Mexican cantina tucked into a cozy corner of Canoga Park's Westfield Mall.  (And, isn't that convenient around gift-giving season!)  Read More...

The Chilean Sunset

This Week We're Drinking The Chilean sunset!

This Week, We Drink to Heal the bay

Abode Restaurant & Lounge is everything I like in a Santa Monica retreat:  It's cozy, modern, sophisticated, comfortable - and really close to the beach.  Nothing beats a heat wave like a refreshing ocean breeze.  (Along with a cocktail-for-a-cause, of course...) Read More...

The Watermelon Margarita

This Week, we're Drinking the Watermelon margarita at katana

Katana (which means "Samurai sword") has been one of my favorite sushi restaurants in LA since it opened, in 2001.  The great atmosphere, fab food, tempting libations and glamorous clientele have given this hotspot 'staying power' in a city with one of the most fickle restaurant scenes on the planet!
