Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark are best friends who met outside a tragically hip dive bar in Los Angeles, California and have a successful show for the Cooking Channel called, Tripping out with Alie and Georgia. They additionally have a Podcast and a YouTube channel where the two have guests and talk about their LifeStyle in accordance with their Cocktail of choice.

The two became friends after meeting at the dive bar and would often meet for cocktails after work.

Alie is a Staff writer for the LA Times covering nightlife and events, and Georgia a part-time Blogger and full-time Receptionist. They jokingly drafted plans on a cocktail napkin for a fictitious cocktail abomination called a McNuggetini, and made a farcical how-to video in their best vintage dresses. A viral hit ensued, with coverage in The New York Times, TIME Magazine, CNN and Perez Hilton.
