It’s not only about the food! Restaurant Week find

We don’t know about you, but we LOVE restaurant week… two weeks a year when some of the more innovative restaurants in the area create a taste-tempting menu* all for only $20.08 - you fill in the year with the price - clever right!

Another aspect of restaurant week we love is the chance to try out new libations… usually of the spirituous kind.

This week I reconnected with one of my all-time local cocktail faves - the Bourbon Bath. Coco’s menu lists the ingredients as Woodford Reserve, Gran Marnier and Sweet Vermouth - on the rocks shaken. I just say umm… Like another DDN reader, I too was lured to CoCo’s by the Snapper the wasn’t on the restaurant week menu… but the cocktail made the trip more than worth while - the pork dish was moist - full of flavor and enjoyable too.

How about you, have you found any cocktail gems you’d like to share… tell us about ’em! We’d love to check them out.

*Yes, we know… some of the restaurants trot out the same - tired restaurant week offerings from years’ past. Or, better yet, the regular menu items at a restaurant week price… why do they do this… Really - experiment a little!
