Zakuski Mule, Windows Lounge

Windows Lounge is located in the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Starting daily at 4pm, they serve appetizers which they describe as a refined approach to street food (aka StrEAT food). After a touristy day in Los Angeles, the Zakuski Mule (I love trying to say this name in a Russian accent) was the perfect pick me up cocktail. It's a smash of flavor to the palate and an invigorating herbal citrus aroma for the nose. I can also see it as a refreshing a spa day cocktail, although a cocktail would negate all the benefits of a spa day.

The Ginger Rey, Windows Lounge

After a long scenic drive down the coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles, the Windows Lounge at the Four Seasons had the perfect renergizing drink:  The Ginger-Rey.  It's a zesty combination of Patron Reposado Tequila, King's Ginger Liquer, fresh lime, agave and passion fruit puree.

An added treat to complete the tequila experience at the Four Seasons is the Punta Mita Tequila Massage.  Per the Spa brochure, "Blended together, tequila and sage form the basis of the Punta Mita massage. Both these ingredients are antiseptic, good for cleansing and detoxifying the body. The treatment is specially designed to improve circulation, aid digestion and relieve the fatigue of jet lag."  Did I go for it?  Of course I did.
