Drink Up | Moscow Mule

As cocktails go, a Moscow Mule is pretty historic. Yet, on warm summer days, this classic can still enliven the palate with a heady mix of lime juice, ginger beer and vodka.

We especially like the version at St Felix in Hollywood. Still served in a copper mug with a sprig of mint, it proves that classics never go out of style.

Social Find Friday | King's Row

King's Row in Pasadena, California possesses an impressive outdoor situation equipped with misters for dry, hot days and seating that keeps the conversation flowing. As Old Pasadena's first gastropub, it has a hefty reputation for its craft beers and scratch kitchen.

 

While the bluesy-rock reggae sounds of My Reggae Band (yep, that's their actual name) flowed through the air, we nibbled on House Cut Fries and Brussel Sprouts mixed with smoked beets, thyme and shallots. We washed the yummy bites down with mojitos served in mason jars, a detail which was downright charming.
