French Bulldog    One of my favorite things to do when I am feeling adventurous is to ask bartenders what their favorite drink is or if there is a drink they have been dying to make.

    One of my favorite things to do when I am feeling adventurous is to ask bartenders what their favorite drink is or if there is a drink they have been dying to make.

    And that’s what I did for this week’s Drink of the Week. I walked into Saloon on Wednesday, sat down, and asked the new bartender what she thought was a good drink to indulge in on that particular afternoon.

    She recommended the French Bulldog, which is your classic mimosa but in a larger quantity. You get your own mini California champagne, mine was named Ruth, and it is mixed with a splash of orange juice. That’s it. Simple enough.

    The only disappointment I had was that I wasn’t  drinking it while wearing a floppy hat and betting on some ponies running around a track. Nothing the bartender could do about that.

    So my recommendation when it comes to drinking a French Bulldog is if you’re feeling like a million bucks, or if you want to, go for the super-sized mimosa in a margarita cup. It’s not every day you get your own (mini) bottle of champaign, but maybe save it for the mornings so you start the day out feeling fancy.
