An easy poolside drink from a favorite hotel in Palm Springs, The Avalon. A boutique getaway, with a flowing series of courtyards, lawns, gardens and grounds, that reveal romantic pools and cabanas, a hidden spa, studios and suites, and historic bungalows. A relaxing hotel with an amazing restaurant and bar called Chi Chi, I want to share with you the recipe to one of my favorite drinks.
A gorgeous entry and lobby, giving you all the Palm Springs feels.
The lobby bar is a cozy, intimate bar to enjoy drinks, food and good company.
