Nutmeg Crafted Cocktail

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Time To Eat: Nutmeg Crafted Cocktail! Before you hear the dinner bell, it’s always a delight to sip on a crafted cocktail beforehand. It not only sets the tone for the ultimate dining experience, it also helps to pause the day from nonstop commotion and mind- boggling solutions. Pre-dinner drinks are not meant to get you sloshed and buzzed. Instead be pampered, let your hair down, and have some fun. You deserve it.

NUTMEG CRAFTED COCKTAIL

1.5 ounces double-oaked bourbon

3 tablespoons orange juice

Dash nutmeg

Orchids and nutmeg, for garnish

Using a cocktail shaker, combine double-oaked bourbon, grand marnier, lemon juice, orange juice, and nutmeg.

Garnish with fresh orchids and a sprinkling of nutmeg. Serve immediately.

All Aboard: Grand Central Station, NYC

No matter the day or hour, people can be seen flocking in droves to New York City’s Grand Central Terminal. It’s hard to imagine the doors formally opened to the public in 1913. As the first “stairless” station, gradual sloping ramps accommodate even the tiniest toddler at its mother’s hem to the elder traveler with a cane. The main concourse is flanked by gigantic glass window panes and classical architecture. Stop for a moment and look up at the gilded arched ceiling. Notice the astronomical phenomenon made up of 2500 stars. And that’s not all. With 60 retail shops and 35 eateries, this impressive landmark is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is considered the world’s most visited tourist attraction.
