Drinks from the Weekend: June 2

Drink menu at Locanda.

This weekend's only drinks were at Locanda before dinner. This bar always impresses with the top-notch service and attention to detail.

Business Thyme: gin, thyme, honey, lemon.

My first drink was the Business Thyme. The gin, thyme, and honey created this fusion that made it hard to tell where one ended and the next began. These flavors blended so well that I was left wondering if it was the thyme or the gin that created the aftertaste. This was opposed by the lemon which added a sourness to the mix.

Spring Smash: bourbon, strawberry, mint, lemon.

Next was the Spring Smash--a play on the Whiskey Smash. I also enjoyed this drink although it was slightly sour for me. The strawberry and mint just barely came through, but it was enough to differentiate it from a Whiskey Smash.
