Giggle and grin

Grinning. You will not hear about the 3 or 4 things that serendipitously occurred and were crossed off the bucket list, but I will tell you about a little find. Lyns and I ventured to Vault, a swanky speakeasy she had heard about. It is a very intimate, cool atmosphere with the usual red and black furnishings and matching ultra-hip patrons. Not-so-hip in my white jeans and black flip flops, I blended — time for a cocktail. Try saying that without giggling. Lyns ordered “The Fancy Pants Champagne Cocktail” and I had “Giggle Water.” How apropos. I’m a sucker for good packaging and creative naming of libations — so I was pleasantly surprised when the drinks lived up to their sassy titles. Giggle Water has Effen Raspberry (yes that's on the menu) vanilla vodka with fresh cinnamon, two dashes of bitters and a splash of both Sprite and Coke. It was refreshing. FRESH.

Vault was another stop during our impromptu evening, so I was hesitant to leave as we enjoyed our cocktails and relaxed setting. I will be back for another Giggle and possibly, gin.
