The husband and I dropped by one of our favorite places this week, The Royal River Grillhouse.
.
.
And since it was the New Year? I had two of the above pictured New Year cocktails.
.
.
It was a cold day and no one wanted to sit on the porch, even with the massive heaters going full blast.
This restaurant’s bar is known for it’s liberal pours as proven by my third and final drink, the Gooseberry Bellini.
.
.
Yes, that’s an actual Grey Goose vodka bottle with the neck cut off. They use them as glasses and let me tell you, when you finish a cocktail in one of those babies?
You know it.
I left the Royal River Grillhouse royally soused… so no false advertising there.
🤣

River's world.....

I’m torn between a hot buttered rum….(because I am cold and tired after working hard today)…. and a gooseberry bellini which sounds lush!

They use that “glass” for their Bloody Marys as well. They’re epic.

Grey Goose bottles cut beautifully. I’ve cut many of them to make candles. Those drinks look amazing. I don’t blame you for having several.

Did I read the menu right? The first cocktail says it includes glitter?

It did, and edible glitter at that. But I requested a glitter free version.

This looks like a very sweet spot; love the use of the bottle. That’s my type of recycling!

It’s a popular spot, hard to get in during tourist season so we tend to go more in the winter.
