The Palmetto State takes Martini's to another level

Nitrogen, not your everyday ingredient found in a kitchen or bar. When used though it can make some great looking drinks, and tasty ones as well. For those of you who do not know what Nitrogen is, allow me to explain it to you real quick. Nitrogen is a chemical element and is the lightest pnictogen and at room temperature, it is a transparent, odorless diatomic gas. Sounds safe to put in a drink right? Well if you are having hesitations, let me ease them for you. Head down to this hotspot downtown where they use nitrogen to mix up some pretty amazing cocktails. 

Head on down to 225 E Bay St in downtown Charleston to Grill 225 and there you can find one outstanding list of unique cocktails. Don't believe me, well keep reading to see what I am talking about.

 Pictured right you see what they call a Nitrotini. Yes you read that right... a Nitrotini. One of Charleston's hottest cocktails, this is one thing you have to try when you come and visit the lowcountry. Cooled to -320 Fahrenheit, this is Charleston's only cocktail that is infused with liquid nitrogen. Still having hesitations? Well let me tell you a few drink combinations that I'm sure will ease your worry and make you want to go grab one for yourself.

 You can order a classic strawberry daiquiri or Cosmopolitan. Looking to be a little more adventurous? How about Cotton Candy? Rose Petal? or Nitromallow? Surely one of these has to spike your interest. If not then I feel so bad for you because you are missing out one one neat experience. 
Served in your typical martini glass your drink arrives smoking and a warning label on the glass. Honestly, you should have to sign a wavier before drinking this thing, but hey I won't complain. When placed in front of you, your eyes get wide and you feel some excitement because you are about to have one of the hottest cocktails around. But before you can indulge in this delicious drink, make sure you wait three minutes or more for the smoke to clear before you take a sip. Seriously though, WAIT! Hence why they put a warning label on the glass and tell you when placing it in front of you that you have to wait. 

 Now I know all of y'all are smart people and will wait, but we know their are some folks who think they are above everyone else and can handle it before the drink is set. Well the warning label explains what happens when you don't wait.. so just take my advice and wait. Honestly three minutes will not be the end of it all. 
So have I made your decision on your next meal choice? Well drink choice I should say! I sure hope so! The next time you are wondering where to go for a good meal, sweet treat or homemade recipe, come right here and this southern girl will take care of you.

Dancin along to the Hoop Dee Doo Revue

Image
Ah.. the joys of booking your Disney vacation and planning every detail down to the fast pass times, dining locations and even what time you need to catch the bus back to your resort at the end of a busy day. Well if you want to make your trip interesting.. plan a surprise dining location (which is what happened on my latest trip) to start your vacation off on a good note. My twin sisters boyfriend booked our first night dining at Fort Wilderness Lodge at the Hoop Dee Doo Revue! A location I have heard so many great things about, it was an awesome surprise to start our week long vacation. Nestled in the depths of Disney's Fort Wilderness and sitting along Seven Seas Lagoon, you will find the Pioneer Hall where you will sit and enjoy a countrified feast. If I can give you some advice, be prepared to sing, clap and stomp along to some good ol' rustic country tunes. But i bet you are really interested in the country fare that we dined on.. well keep reading and I will share...

Dining with Chip and Dale around the Garden Grill

Image
Nothing like enjoying the day exploring Magic Kingdom, riding Big Thunder Mountain or visiting your favorite princess; but after all of that walking, you are going to need a filling dinner. Well for us we ventured to Epcot and dined with Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto at The Garden Grill. An all you can eat fare dining with some of your favorite characters is a perfect way to end the day.  Nestled in The Land Pavilion located right above Soarin' Around the World sits Garden Grill; a rotating restaurant that serves your meal "family style" all while dining with Mickey and some of his farm friends! Upon walking up and checking in, you take one look up and you see Mickey and his friends walking around saying hi and snapping photos with diners (and if you are like my twin sister, you are bouncing up and down waiting anxiously to meet Chip and Dale). We were fortunate enough to be greeted by David and walked to our table. He had a great personality and was one of the many outs...

"Crusin" into Nassau, Bahamas Day 2

Image
So Day 2 and we have found ourselves in the port at Nassau, Bahamas. Arriving into port early in the morning, the sunrise was beautiful and the views from our balcony were spectacular. Now Matt and I decided to not venture off the boat (since it was our first cruise) and what a smart decision that was. Literally everyone got off at the port and we basically had the whole ship to ourselves. After indulging in the Lido deck buffet for breakfast, Matt and I wandered around the ship and really got to explore (since during days out to sea, the ship is crowded). On the Carnival Liberty you will find: the Casino, The Fun Shops, The Venetian Palace (the place where Matt and I scored big during Bingo!), the Serenity deck (for those of you 21+), and so much more.  After really walking through the ship, we decided to go out on the Lido deck and enjoy the nice day, grab a drink and watch the on-board movie (the new Beauty and the Beast)! Now many of you would think I went right for...
