History

Created at Chasen's, a legendary Hollywood restaurant that opened in 1936 and was a haunt of movie stars and even royalty until its eventual demise in 1995. The memorabilia that decorated the restaurant was held in storage and in 1997 Maud and Dave Chasen's grandson opened another Chasen's on Beverly Hills' Cañon Drive which sadly failed due to a lack of patrons.

During the original Chasen's heyday, its star-studded clientele enjoyed drinks created by its noted bartender Pepe Ruiz. Of these, the Flame of Love is his most famous creation, partly due to its originally being made for Dean Martin. The legend of this drink is further embellished by Dean dragging his old pal Frank Sinatra to Chasen's to try the drink. The story goes that Frank was so impressed that he ordered one for everyone in the place.

Just watched the interview on here of Dale DeGroff talking about the Cosmopolitan. Had to try this drink. What a way to swill vodka! I like it.
