Homecracka Ed G sent me Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails for Christmas. Having some grapefruit left over from a Hemingway Daiquiri* and plenty of maraschino liqueur, the first drink I mixed was the Seventh Heaven.

Along with the Elliott Street Deli & Pub, The Coffee Loft*, located at 322 Peters Street, is a Ghettoberry Hood business I patronize regularly. The owner and his minions brew an excellent cup of coffee and are also super friendly. Espresso products are delicious, as are the tasty smoothies. My favorite Coffee […]
