So I am headed off to Chicago today for work and its going to be a quick up and back (literally coming home tomorrow). I wish I had more time to hang out in the city, I really love Chicago…its one of the few places I would move to. And I would have loved to have had Angel come too – I’ve never been there with him and I’m sure we’d have a blast with all of the restaurants there!! Oh man, I hope I get to go to at least one really great food place that I can share!
But anyway…So I’ve been waiting to post this beverage for a while, which is based off something we had at The Rooftop Bar in Jacksonville. It was so light and refreshing, and perfectly balanced. It is just perfect for a breakfast or brunch, or as a cocktail in the evening. But I also love that this drink tastes just as good without the alcohol, so if you don’t imbibe, just leave it out.
