Amazing concoction from vincinzo at cola d'oro in Santa monica. Gin,
peycheux bitters, galleano, and cynar (which is some Italian bitter
that I don't really understand)

Hi friends and family: I've slightly unexpectedly found myself on a pilgrimage to the home and studio of my unparalleled heroes Charles & Ray Eames. It is quiet and beautiful here in Pacific Palisades, CA.
And I would have to add: deeply moving.
There's nothing -- really, nothing -- that compares to their body of work or how they seem to me
to represent the very best spirit of America, the power of good design, and the allure of creative partnership. Right now I'm the only guest here (by appointment), so for a little while longer, I get to share the place with Charles and Ray.

These ladies can dismantle the patriarchy all they want.
I'll be at the bar sipping their fantastic cocktails. I had a great experience recently in Boston in the care of LUPEC's Misty (here's an interview from the wonderful drinkboston blog), one of the amazing 'keeps behind the swizzle at DRINK.

Mick's Cocktail Blog Searchologist!
I finally got around to building a Cocktail Blog Search in Google Gadgets. It's ultra-helpful for me because it references only the expert mixologists that I want it to, and not the entireity of mixed-drink stupidity that exists on the Web.
You can search for ingredients or drinks by name or whatever; Feel free to use it yourself for amazing cocktail search results!
