Los Angeles Cocktail back in Style

This is John Apodaca with Daddy-O's Martinis and
I recently discovered a cocktail that was once popular but now long forgotten, called the Los Angeles Cocktail. I was thumbing through the 1935 edition of Old Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide and stumbled upon this gem of a recipe. 


I was unaware that the City of Angels had a classic cocktail named after it and of course I tried it along with some friends and it was fabulous. It's a very simple to make at home for your next gathering.
