The well-loved Ty Lounge at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara had a recent-ish makeover, with an expanded patio that also features a heated floor to warm your tootsies and an uncluttering of the main lounge area. And, yes, they also revamped the cocktail menu. That’s when we turned up. (Hey, that’s when we always turn up!)
Chocolate and strawberries. Strawberries and chocolate. Is there a better traditional combo for Valentine’s Day?
We softies at Drink of the Week say no, precisely because even if our hearts are broken at least we have chocolate to eat and maybe some strawberries to blend into pancakes. So when we got to talking to Alison Reide, host of the cupcake and champagne tastings at Corks & Crowns, about her plans for V-Day, we had to have her design a cocktail. Last year, she made us the Valentini, but this time we challenged her to top that.
