Welcome to L.U.P.E.C. LA!

Hello and welcome to the cocktail chicks of Los Angeles, otherwise known as LUPEC LA!

First off, what the heck is "LUPEC," you wonder? Its an acronym which stands for "Ladies United in the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails." Yep, pretty cool. We are the Los Angeles chapter.

LUPEC began in Philly in, like 2001, by some cool lady cocktail nerds... which is a complimentary term if you dwell in the world of mixology. The organization is one part feminist, one part philanthropic, and the rest is cocktailian fun. The LUPEC concept has traveled around the US and beyond with chapters all over the place - Boston seemingly the most active one. (Hopefully we will be a cross country rival for those gals' enthusiasm for the quality drink!)

Check back to meet the LUPEC LA ladies as we take turns posting on this blog and tell you about ourselves - and most important - the endangered cocktails we are thrilled to drink, or rather, "preserve."

Cheers!
