Navan Yellow Cab

Published on: 03/30/2006

HAIL A CAB

Grand Marnier, the company behind Navan vanilla cognac, is putting a new spin on safe drinking. To remind cocktail sippers to catch a cab after one too many, it's created the Navan Yellow Cab. Navan hitches a ride with pineapple purée, lime juice and simple syrup.

IT'S A MYSTERY

Every Monday at Trader Vic's in the Hilton downtown (255 Courtland St. N.E., Atlanta) bartender Joel Lindsay does what he does best — improvise. Slide him $6 on Mystery Drink Mondays and he whips up a fruity concoction to soothe that inner savage. It may be sweet; it may be sour, but if Lindsay's track record is any indication, we bet it's strong. Other weekly drink specials at Vic's include Mai Tai Thursdays when Mai Tais are $4.50 all night, and FogCutter Fridays when Samoan FogCutters are $4.50 from 5 to 7 p.m.

APRIL SHOWERS

April showers supposedly bring May flowers. But according to the Webtender site (www.webtender.com), it's an excuse to pour the April Rain. Over ice, shake 2 ounces of vodka, and 1/2 of an ounce each of lime juice cordial and vermouth. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lime peel.
