Cocktail Hotel

A creatively themed cocktail column loosely based from my fourth book titled "The Hotel of Naughty Cocktails", a 10-Floor, 195-Room, 1000-page labyrinth of drink. This blog (as of 2006) is to celebrate the start of my 25th year as a Professional and Private Bartender here in Los Angeles - the City of Angels, and Devils too ....
