My New Drink...

Well, I'm a sucker for anything with Captain Morgan, thanks to those lovely days back in college thanks to A. always sneaking it in the Coke for our 8 a.m. Criminal Justice classes as well as my lovely Captain & Diet Coke staples for social occasions. I always joke that I have a high immunity to Captain.

So last night, I'm out with the girls having dinner at the Cheesecake Factory after a particularly stressful week and discover a new gem of a martini (because, of course, y'all know I'm a sucker for those) - The Cable Car Martini.

Well, tonight after trying to make it unsuccessfully here at the house, I find the receipe online. And, delightfully enough, its one of the signature drinks at Nobhill at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where I will be residing for 4 blissful days starting Thursday with Meowmix & friends.

Enjoy! I have a feeling Sarah over at the Pink Shoe Diaries might give this one a whirl!
