Skyy vodka and cranberry juice with a lime wedge. $10
Todd English’s Olives, Las Vegas NV
Ran away from a conference to grab lunch at the Olives bar. I really liked this place. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious!
Ruby Celebration martini – Absolut ruby red vodka, cranberry juice, splash of champagne, garnished with lemon wedge. $12
Creole Bloody Mary – Karlsson’s Gold vodka, Roux’s Cajun Bloody Mary mix, garnished with olives and lemon wedge. $14
Roux Louisiana Kitchen, San Jose CA
These cocktails were weak! The martini tasted ok, but the bloody mary was not at all spicy. Lame restaurant, lame drinks!
The Pattern by Isaac Goes, San Jose “Downtown Doors” Project. I like that San Jose has this public art project showcasing works from local artist.
Project 365: Day 91
Ugh, I’m SO tired of fried food right now (I didn’t think I’d ever say that, lol)! I decided to hit Subway for lunch instead of going to a local fast food restaurant. There are no healthy options for lunch nearby my Charleston work location. Perhaps there are some further away, but I only have so much time during lunchtime to drive somewhere and get food. For dinner, I had leftovers from last night. The one thing that is saving this trip is that the weather is really nice. That’s keeping me motivated to work out.
Vodka with soda and a splash of cranberry. Happy hour $4 each
The Tropicale, Palm Springs CA
This was the trip that we learned that these cocktails were called Rose Kennedy’s. We had been ordering them as “vodka soda with a splash of cran”, silly us! 🙂
Silverfox and I came here to redeem an expired daily deal coupon (so we were at least able to deduct the face value). We tend to be early eaters so it was nice find out that we arrived during their happy hour (Tue-Fri, 5pm – 8pm). Well drinks were only $4 and the pours were decent, score!
Mercury Lounge, San Francisco
Rose Kennedy. Well vodka soda with a splash of cranberry juice.
Cape Cod. Well vodka with cranberry juice.
Madras. Well vodka with orange juice and cranberry juice.
Well vodka with cranberry juice and a lime wedge. $4 for happy hour
Downtown Tiki Lounge, San Mateo CA
This is a pretty chill place with great happy hour drink and appetizer specials. The tiki vibe is adequate with all the fake palm trees, bamboo trim, and tiki statues scattered throughout. Only ducked in for a quick drink while waiting for friend, but this place would be a great after work hang out!
Vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and fresh lime.
Tokyo Go-Go, San Francisco
I know that cosmopolitan cocktails have been relegated to “girly drink” status, but I don’t care! I enjoy the sweet, tangy flavor of this vodka classic. And who can complain when you can get it for happy hour prices!? Heck yeah!
