Sofitel Hotel
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
The bar at this Beverly Hills hotel is like a club in Hollywood complete with the velvet rope and bouncers to boot. I’m not sure if it was just for show because we walked right in. Love it!


Bolshio Martini**

It is not the cover. It’s what’s on the inside that counts. Yeah right! Like Katie Holmes. Nice, clean and pretty on the outside but WEIRD AS HELL on the inside. My first sip was oh so yummy in my tummy until I got down to the bitter end. Don’t let the sweet mysterious taste of pomegranate and lime juice fool you of the liquid acid at the bottom.

-Jennifer D. Moore




Lychee Martini*
The first drink I just could not finish. I even tried to use a straw to no avail. This syrupy sweet concoction was just sickening. True it tasted exactly like lychee but since that has been deemed the worst fruit on the face of the earth (by yours truly) the drink was just horrid. I know he ain’t technically a "fruit" but damnit Carrot Top this one’s for you! P.S. I eventually sent the drink back.

-Jennifer D. Moore







Peach Martini****

Great drink with a subtle peach taste and real chunks of fresh ripe peaches. Felt like the healthiest party drink I’ve ever had. I loved it. This drink is for those who like to have their cake and eat it too. Get it RICHARD!!!

-Jennifer D. Moore





Grapefruit & Basil Martini**
This tasted just like it sounded. An early morning breakfast with the grandma that hates all things that are young and hip (including you). It was bitterly fresh like Estelle Getty (the mother from "The Golden Girls) just picked it out of their garden and wanted to show you this is how martinis used to be made with gin. This is for the grapefruit lovers only and I am not one of them. At least I could finish it unlike the Lychee Martini.

-Lauren Michele






Acai Blueberry Martini****

In the words of Rachel Ray Yum-O my favorite martini in this lounge. It tasted like a blueberry Lemonade martini, this would be perfect for your barbeque in the summer time. It was a little tart but who couldn’t use a little sass in their life so me being the sassy person that I am I had 2.

    I think your blog is smart & well designed. Your posts are not overly wordy which is nice. Keep up the good work you two. I'll add you to my favorites. There needs to be more witty gals reviewing drinks!

About Us

Name: The LA Martini
Home: Los Angeles, CA, United States
About Me: About Lauren Michele, I am a 20 something racially ambiguous college graduate that is constantly mistaken for a failed model turned food critic. I try to charm the boys with my sweet innocent looks and kill them with my wit and sarcasm. I enjoy partying it up with my girl Jennifer and going to the latest hot spots (sometimes crashing them) to dance the night away. I am a tv whore that will watch anything from the educational to the ignorant to the inspirational. Which contributes to my pool of useless knowledge that allows me to talk/debate about anything under the sun. I love to eat and meet new people and hopefully in my excursions I will get to meet half of the people that I talk about in the blog and not turn into an alcoholic.
