Over the weekend, I had to go to Miami for an interview. I
decided that instead of driving the 10 or 11 hours there and back in one day I
would stay the night and enjoy a little bit of South Beach.
After some quick Urbanspoon research into dining options
within walking distance of our bed and breakfast (which had an AMAZING
breakfast that I will be blogging about later,) we found a cute and quirky
little diner that wasn’t too pricey.
The menu was eclectic and fun. It had steaks and burgers,
sandwiches and dinner meals that were featured on the Food Network Show,
Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. And even though I’m not a fan of Guy Fieri, it was
pretty cool to see that on the menu.
It took me forever to decide what to eat, and I ended up
going with some fried food monstrosity: chicken tenders, onion rings, jalapeno
poppers and mozzarella sticks. But I knew what I wanted to drink right away.
Under the milkshake section, which had 20+ flavors of creamy goodness, there
was a “hard” milkshake section. It didn’t take long for me to decide on one of
the alcoholic dessert concoctions. I went with the Night Rider, a blend of
Bacardi 151, Grand Marnier, Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream. It was
fabulous, but the true winner was the milkshake my cousin ordered, the Dreamsicle.
The mixture of vanilla ice cream, orange juice and Cointreau
liquor was so good that we had to recreate it at home. And I’m going to be bold
and say our version was even better, and it couldn’t have anything to do with
the extra liquor we added or anything.
If milkshakes didn’t destroy my stomach, this could easily
become my new obsession. The alcoholic, liquid version of an orange creamsicle?
Count me in.
