I’ll Have Another!

Next week I’ll be checking out the new menu at III Forks and I’ve enjoyed a meal at Cantina Laredoback in March. In true Champagne Living style they’ve created this “I’ll Have Another” specialty cocktail that will be featured this Saturday at Cantina Laredo and III Forks in Hallandale.

If you saw watched the Derby and Preakness, you’ll know the name “I’ll Have Another” as the horse that we’re hoping will win the Triple Crown! This drink incorporates ingredients from all three official cocktails of all three races — Mint Julep (Kentucky Derby), Black Eyed Susan (Preakness), and the Belmont Breeze (Belmont Stakes). They’ll also have appetizer specials available.

III Forks Prime Steakhouse and Cantina Laredo will feature drink and appetizer specials on Saturday, June 9, while showing a live telecast of the final leg of the Triple Crown. Race Day offerings at both restaurants will include “I’ll Have Another” special during the Belmont Stakes.
