The Perfect Drink for the 4th of July

The American Sweetheart

Whiskey is truly an American liquor. Don’t believe us? Listen to that Don McLean song, “American Pie” (“…Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye, and singin’, this’ll be the day that I die…”)  You can’t argue with Don. As such, the perfect drink to celebrate American independence must include whiskey. So, we present to you the “American Sweetheart” cocktail.  Shake together one ounce each of bourbon whiskey and Southern Comfort, a dash of dry vermouth, sour mix to taste, and serve it up in a rocks glass. One sip and you’ll be shouting, “Oh! Sweet land of liberty!” Enjoy.

Elevate your taste in tequila this summer…

Nothing says summer like a tall, refreshing margarita. Thoughts of sitting on a porch or beach with this cold beverage in hand just feels right.

Double Zero Napoletana

Double Zero Napoletana Pizza

Dolce far niente….while you’re OTP.

Dolce far niente. In Italian, this translates to “the sweetness of doing nothing.” Now, I feel that I am an expert at this, so it’s surprising to me that I’m not actually Italian. This seems to be a way of life that true Italians live by. And why not? Less worry, more pizza I say – and at Double Zero Napoletana, dolce far niente doesn’t seem far from reach.

The right music can make a great meal even better, just as the wrong music can detract from the juiciest steak. Ever try to stomach Nickelback with a side of sashimi? Not good. Atlanta restaurants are hip to the groove and, as such, are serving up equal portions of killer beats and gourmet treats. Read on to find the best places to keep your head bobbing and your mouth watering…
