James Bond, Humphrey Bogart and Ernest Hemingway all loved the martini. All were sought-after sex symbols in their spheres of existence. The martini is a strong drink to be sipped delicately and with class, and LALLApalooza on Alvarado provides an outlet for seductive sipping of this classic cocktail. Opt for the standard martini or special variations like the spicy White Mexican, the refreshingly fruity Mirage, or the naughty Betty Paige made with X-Rated Liqueur. With drinks like these, a night at LALLApalooza is always sufficiently stirring.
