December 22, 2022 Natalia Reca 0Comment

We began by testing out some of their unique cocktails on the menu. The first drink of the night was an elegant rose-pink beverage served in a martini glass, topped with a smoke-filled bubble. The drink was served with a glacé cherry on a stick which was used to puncture the bubble and release a smokey cloud. This was quite…

This easy dish will wow your palate, and take you no more than a few minutes to throw together (not including prep time).
