Lights, Camera, and Cocktails with Cointreau!

Los Angeles is known as the “City of Stars”, for obvious and completely accurate reasons.

When it’s this hot in L.A., I seem to spend my hour constantly searching out the next air-conditioned spot and accompanying cool refreshment. And to be honest, when it comes to the latter, the usual suspects just aren’t cutting it these days. An ice cold beer turns into malt soup halfway through. A steaming plate of nachos seems to lose its crunch before it’s even … Continue reading Gin Sippin’ and Oyster Shootin’ Away the L.A. Summer Heat
