● Stone Rose Lounge (West Hollywood) – The East Coast version of this star-lit bar is NY’s reigning cougar palace. This is similar, except the furniture—and the cougars—are a burnt orange.
● The Ivy (Beverly Hills) – Studio bigwigs are more than thrilled to let their bored wives run wild on the company expense account, which means lunch (and dessert) at this Hollywood clubhouse is just a “How you doin’” away.
● Ecco Ultra Lounge (Hollywood) - The only thing that trumps a regular cougar is one that drives a Prius. Savor the ride home from this eco-friendly supper club, because it’s about to get dirty.

Over on our Mixology site in the Pros section, we asked the hottest bartenders in New York and Los Angeles to whip up a specialty cocktail while describing their perfect New Year's Eve. Check out Chelsea Petterson of LA's Ecco as she concocts a Sambazon Acai Capiroska. Expert bartender, NBA dancer -- is there anything she can't do? Maybe keep away from those soccer players.

What do you do? What do you drink? I provide enjoyment and entertainment for people when they come out to our bar to have a good time. I am also a dancer for the NBA. I drink Grey Goose and soda, or Grey Goose La Poire and soda.

Name three restaurants/bars/clubs you frequent when you’re not working. I like XIV. It’s a restaurant that serves tapas. I love the atmosphere, and the food is great. I always like Koi, the sushi restaurant. I like Kiss Lounge because I have friends that work there, and it’s a fun place to go.

Sure, you've been following the fun on our Mixology site, where BlackBook and Grey Goose recruited the best bartenders from New York and Los Angeles to whip up their signature drinks on camera, all while relating their own ideal New Year's experience. But perhaps you really just want to see those recipes demonstrated point by point, shake by shake? Then check out the collected bonus clips above, which describe and demonstrate each drinkmaking experience in exacting detail. On tap: Cielo, Campbell Apartment, Hudson Bar, and Larry Lawrence in New York; and Ecco, The Edison, and Saints N' Sinners in Los Angeles. Click the "MENU" button on the video player to access all seven clips. And don't forget to thank the skilled shooters at Two Penguins Productions for making all this holiday cheer possible in the first place. Chin-chin.

No break for you on Sunday, as our Mixology site continues the BlackBook-Grey Goose pregame guide for your New Year's Eve beveraging.

Today in our Mixology Pros section: Chelsea at LA's new eco-conscious temple Ecco creates a Sambazon Acai Capiroska.
