March Newsletter
Spring!
A big shift in the seasons is under way. Longer, warmer days. Forsythia. Green growth. Asparagus. Spring Columbia River Chinook Salmon. Are you smiling yet? (We are.)
Social networking at Pelicano. We’re just getting this going, learning our way and having fun with it.

March Cocktail of the Month:
Crouching Tiger
(It’s the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar.)
Infuse a bottle of Ketel One Vodka with 10 whole star anise. Strain after 48 hours and save the star anise for a very pretty garnish.
1 1/2 oz infused vodka
1/2 oz grand marnier
2 oz mandarin puree or fresh squeezed mandarin juice
Combine all in a shaker with ice. Shake well and serve up in a martini glass with a sugared rim. Garnish with the whole star anise.
