Swank Sip: New Martini Menu at Luxe Rodeo Drive

Summer is always better with a little vodka-infused flare. We hear that Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel has unveiled the first developments in its revamped culinary program that is highlighted by an innovated menu of signature martinis.

The list of concoctions use California's best ingredients (think watermelon and white peach purees, organic rosemary and basil, fresh jalapenos and fruit juices) to blend together the perfect summertime treats.

The fun doesn't stop there. The happy hour menu features a lineup of appetizers that highlight Executive Chef James Jung's California cuisine with Asian influence. We love the Rodeo Trio - a combo that includes a Kobe Beef slider with caramelized onions and St. Agur cheese, paired with truffle fries and a Luxe Kiss Martini.
