Drinks With Alie & Georgia: Drunken Donuts Cocktail
Happy National Donut Day! We love donuts so much, we used one as a garnish for our Drunken Donuts cocktail.
Our heartfelt essay on why rum is the new sipping liquor.
It is our theory, as well as those in the know, that rum is set to be the new whiskey. Worth sipping solo, it’s time that rum emerged from its hiding spot in overly sweet poolside daiquiris and outdated Mai Tai’s and was enjoyed for its complexities and distiller-to-distiller uniqueness. (Note: we are authoritatively pounding a lecturn as we type this.)
In a word, rum is neat. And we wanted to drink it that way. So we headed to the simply-named, newly-opened Neat in Glendale.Read more here.

Alie and Georgia on Classy Ladies: Vintage Dresses, Boy Humor and Cocktails
“Swizzle your beef sticks a little slower,” the director says to Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark as they stir their jerky-infused tequila Bloody Marys — a drink they’ve dubbed the Beefy Tomato. It’s an odd direction, but every move the women make while demonstrating the drink recipe is supposed to be at half-speed. The crew is getting the final shots needed for this episode of Classy Ladies, Ward and Hardstark’s latest web series for Cooking Channel. The cocktail was inspired by a trip to People’s Sausage Co. earlier this week. There, they got a lesson in jerky making, then figured out a way to put that flavor into drink form.
When Two Classy Ladies Made A McNuggetini, The World Blew Up (Or a video went viral. Now, two BFFs have a show)
It all started with a YouTube video gone viral depicting in ludicrous detail how to make a McNuggetini. If you’re one of the few people who didn’t see it, a McNuggetini is just what it sounds like. It was the unholy vision of Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark, two best friends based in Los Angeles who love food and cocktails, but find the whole scene a little too precious.
Once the people running Cooking Channel’s website saw their video, the ladies were asked if they could come up with real recipes for palatable, if still outrageous, cocktails. On their new web series, Classy Ladies, they whip up zany drinks, take hilarious field trips, and have what appears to be a whole lot of fun together. We sat down with them to see just how classy these ladies are.
