Washington, North Carolina Surprising Fact:
“Who knew that an advanced degree in theater history would come in so handy behind the bar? All this time I thought it was useless!”
"Life in Public is an ideal microcosm of our special corner of the world: we share our woes and our joys, gossip judiciously, and meet just about every traveler who passes through, sometimes persuading them to buy their own little piece of the pie."
Iced Cappuccino Martini
2 oz. of Van Gogh Espresso Vodka (The "Public pour" is not stingy!) 1 oz. Kahlua
Generous splash of Godiva White Chocolate liqueur
Shake vigorously in a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour into a chilled martini glass.
