March Madness

So here we are in March - armed with our next two drinks of the month (F & G) - a 44 Magnum  & Get Laid.  .44 magnum was supposed to be next up in alphabetical order, but we stopped @ the Holiday Inn SunSpree first and the G drink seemed to call to us - Get Laid.  So we did! (vodka, raspberry liqueur, dash of cranberry juice & filled with pineapple juice).  Overlooking the ocean is lovely, but the bartender was so so and so was the drink.  I even forgot to take a picture as it was so unimpressive.  Guess when you "Get Laid" is doesn't always live up to expectations!  Definitely go to the Holiday Inn SunSpree for drinks overlooking the ocean - it is really lovely.

44 Magnum
We then headed over to 22 North with the .44 magnum in our sights.  They opened @ 5pm on Sat. & not a second earlier.  Much better drink (vodka, light & dark rum, triple sec, dash of sour mix & a dash of pineapple juice filled with lemon line soda), much better bartender.  This is very much a local place and as it was early in the day we were the only ones at the bar. Clearly, we set out too early! We shared an appetizer which was ok - but not good enough to remember what it was!

It's been kind of busy for us with work, and travel but next month we'll be drinking H & I drinks TBD. 

So far, the fav drink is still the Empire State Slammer. 

Remember:  Please drink in moderation
