Episode 25- Finally Fountainbleau
Drink of the Day - The Miami Cocktail (A drink that seems to have been invented by the Cointreau company- at least, I can’t find an origin story)
1 ounce Contreau or the orange liquor of your choosing
- 1.5 ounce light rum
- 3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Shaken and strained
Bill’s take on FBLV
Beautiful
Super comfortable bed
Good service
Great bars
Mother Wolf
Last Q- do you recommend FBLV and, if so, to who?
Super Expensive
- $180 spa day pass on a Wednesday
- No 3/2 Blackjack for less than $50 Wednesday mid-day
- $15.50 slice of pizza
- Super-expensive steakhouses
One other problem– it was pretty far away from everything, and the sidewalks aren’t set up well.
