This sangria was very light and slightly bubbly so I’m guessing they cut it with ginger ale or club soda. I liked it though especially since we were eating pretty heavy menu items. Glass $5.50

If you follow my posts regularly, you might get the impression that I’m an alcoholic, but I’m really not! My friends are, lol! I actually rarely drink these days if you can believe that. 🙂

Our traditional margarita made with Margaritaville Gold Tequila, Margaritaville Triple Sec, and our special margarita mix, served on the rocks. $8.95
Margaritaville, Las Vegas NV
Ugh, this was the weakest and smallest nine dollar margarita I have EVER had! The sad part is that I really didn’t expect anything better. What a waste!
Caesars Palace at night.
Knob Creek whiskey, sugar cube, angostura bitters, soda water. $14
Lily Bar & Lounge, Las Vegas NV
I really liked this lounge! The service was great (and super sexy) and the drinks were nice and neat. Lily had a wonderful laid back vibe even with the many posers (or maybe they added to the overall experience?).
Las Vegas Strip.
Ramble: gin, sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, muddled raspberries, crushed ice.
Comme Ca, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, I LOVED the cocktails at Comme Ca! There were plenty to choose from and they were all deilcious and very different. AND during happy hour they are half off – SCORE!

This a little on the tart side for my taste. I guess at fourteen bucks I was expecting this cocktail to be more balanced.

Sauza and mango mix blended. Happy hour 2 for 1, $15
Carlos’n Charlie’s, Las Vegas NV
This was SO frickin’ disgusting!!! There was almost no alcohol in this drink and the mango mix was super sweet and syrupy. I felt sick just drinking this ridiculous drink so I definitely didn’t want to finish it. Don’t waste your time ordering their weak, overpriced drinks! Actually, their food is marginal too.
Flamingo Hotel courtyard.
Potato vodka, house made mary mix, pork belly, sesame salt. $9
Joule, San Francisco CA
This place was super cute and the service was friendly although we had a large party so our waiter was a little scarce once we got our food. My bloody mary was tasty, but the pork belly description was a bit misleading and the cocktail was fairly small.
Angie’s Umbrella, Jim Pridgeon and Benson Shaw, 2003, Belltown.
Rye whiskey, lemon, 100 proof honey. Happy hour $5
Bitterroot BBQ, Seattle WA
This drink was way too sour for my taste! They must have put a crap-load of lemon juice in this thing. Too bad because I was excited for the rye-honey liqueur combo. 😦

Fishermen’s Grotto, San Francisco CA
Noms, what a great combination! This cake wasn’t overly sweet and it had a great lemon taste – perfect! The sponge cake was moist and super flavorful.
