The Victorian Lemonade
The Victorian Lemonade
With the Olympics well underway, we still wish we could be in London to celebrate the games. Fortunately, Michael Jordan's The Steak Houses (located in New York City, Chicago, and Connecticut) is offering its own take on English-style cocktails. (After all, Michael Jordan was an Olympian, too!) The Victorian Lemonade is from the Golden Age of cocktails, and is a twist on the traditional mint julep. As the Brits might say, cheers!
