Locanda del Lago Toasts George Clooney's Big 5-0 With a Cool Summer Cocktail

Locanda del Lago's The Clooney
People mag hasn't called George Clooney the "Sexiest Man Alive" since 2006, but, five years later and turning 50 on May 6, the actor is still smokin' hot. To cool yourself down and celebrate his hitting the half-century mark, Santa Monica's Locanda del Lago has a cocktail named for Clooney, and are offering it at a special price Friday to Sunday in his honor.
The Clooney is a summertime cocktail made of No. 209 Gin, Oro Blanco Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Aperol, and St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur. From Friday May 6 to Sunday May 8, the drink is available by the glass for $8 and by the litre ("litro") for $20.
Locanda del Lago, celebrating their 20th anniversary this month, specializes in cuisine of Bellagio and the Northern Lakes region of Italy, including Lake Como, which counts among its luminary regular visitors Clooney.
The restaurant has two other celebri-special cocktails this month, The Versace (Papagayo Organic Rum with fresh Strawberries, Raspberries, and Blackberries, muddled with fresh Mint and served with Sugarcane) and The De Niro (Casa Noble Organic Tequila, Cara Cara Oranges, Meyer Lemon, Paige Tangerines, Limes, and Theia Jasmine Liqueur) which are $12 on the rocks; $8 during happy hour and $28 in shareable one-liter pitchers. But we don't blame you if you stick with Clooney. Swoon!

Oh, that does sound good Merlin. I want the litre one to "share" with George for his birthday!

Wow, nice PR work there, Locanda del Lago!

And I'm really pissed off because I have an a-list celebrity visiting one of the hotels I represent and we're working on a cocktail to be named after them. Hope I can still get press pick up now.

You just tell them who you are and that you've got a whole lot of backing (us, in case you didn't know). The press will just come a runnin'!!!!
