Sorbet...With Champagne

Scoops in Los Angeles does not mess around. They don't use artificial flavoring. They don't even use natural flavoring. They use the real deal Holyfield of all flavoring...the actual ingredient! If you want bacon ice cream, there is real bacon in there. If you want goat cheese and basil ice cream, guess what? Real goat cheese and basil.
I know, I know, your mind has been blown.
So, the other day, I popped my head in to Scoops, and low and behold, right before my very eyes, there it was... Now if you have been paying attention at all, you know where I am going with this....
a Champagne and Pear Sorbet, with real champagne!
So of course, my first question is,
"How much champagne is in a scoop?"
Needless to say, I found out that Scoops sells large ice cream cakes that day. It may not have been my birthday, but it sure felt like it was.

Sangria...With Champagne

Peanut Butter and Jelly. Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. These are just a few of things that belong together...much like Sangria and Champagne. What a fantastic combination of sweet, fruity, bubbly, and Delicious. The best one I've had so far is at the SLS hotel in Beverly Hills. And the fun part about it is you can order it just about anywhere. You can get it at the bar. You can get it while you eat. You can get it in your room. On the rooftop or by the pool. Basically it's like green eggs and ham but without the weird cat dude and in a much more comfortable setting. Although, I'm sure if you want to drink it in a tree, the SLS hotel can arrange it.

The Standard Hotel... With Champagne

The Standard Hotel is one of the premier spots to see and be seen in Los Angeles. I guess it's pretty obvious which is going on here. If you're there just to see who is who in hollywood, go on and get your self a vodka soda. That's what those girls at the counter are drinking. Yep, that is right, they are totally looking our way. However if you are ready to take the next step, go on and ask for a glass of their best champagne. Just be prepared for the blinding angelic-like glow that starts to form around you. Are they flashes from the paps? Someone from up above shining their light of approval down on you? For the sake of keeping my blog 100% factual, we'll just say... it's both.

Santa Monica...With Champagne

Santa Monica. What I've learned is you either love it or you hate it. I choose to... drink champagne atop the the Huntley Hotel at the Penthouse Bar looking out over the palm trees, mountains, and beautiful (at times) Pacific ocean.
Just do me a favor and leave before it gets dark. There's no champagne in the world that can erase what goes on there after nightfall.
