West Hollywood’s Comme Ca is adding a few cups of Julia Child to this Sunday’s “block party” (where a 200-lb. block of ice will be chipped for drinks) with Child-inspired cocktails. “Julia of Pasadena” combines vodka, cachaca, and St. Germain with watermelon and cilantro to remember where Julia came from, and “Page 734” commemorates the length of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in gin mixed with cantaloupe, plus black and red bell pepper.
