Seattleites often flee for warmer climates during the long winter months. It’s not that it gets extremely cold here, but, the constant grey has the tendency to nag on one’s soul.
Well, this year, we’re sticking around, but, our cocktails are headed for warmer climates. And this one is especially delicious. It will bring you to a beach almost real enough that you’ll be able to feel the warm sun toasting your skin. Cheers, friends. - Anne
