Dark and... Beardy?

Last night I worked a 30th birthday party in the Echo Park/Silverlake area thrown for a hubby by his fantastic wifey. The hubby, sporting the "Silverlake beard" had wanted three specialty drinks for the party. He chose to go with his favorite, the Dark and Stormy, renaming it "Dark and Beardy" in honor of himself. It was one of the most popular drinks of the night, right beside the "Echo Park Iced Tea" which was basically a John Daly, or an Arnold Palmer by way of vodka (nam-nams). The two kept me very busy all night, and everyone's buzz a steady hummm.

The last specialty drink was a Berry Mojito, affectionately renamed "Inglorious Bastards" (although it should have been Basterds). It wasn't as popular as the first two, but I'm pretty sure the cold weather had something to do with it. For me, mojitos are synonomous with summer and heat.

It was an amazing party complete with Ipod cupcakes, a face painter, a photo booth, a taco truck, and a priceless view of downtown Los Angeles at night. Later this afternoon, I'm traveling to La Verne to do a tasting for a wedding I'm tending this summer. I'm creating some custom drinks for the bride and groom, and today's

tasting will decide (enter Heidi Klum voice) which cocktails are eeeeen or aut.

Will keep you posted!
