1. They’re  delicious.
2. One won’t kill you.
3. A little tiny bit of alcohol per day is good for you (unless you’re on meds)
4. It’s fun to watch your bartender mix one especially for you.
5. They’re more festive than wine or beer.

For these reasons and more, I’m seeing out the best cocktails in my world and in other peoples’ worlds to share. If you have a cocktail recipe or LA bar you love, I hope you’ll  include it in your comments
