Connolly's Irish Pub *CLOSED*
Cary, NC
This vacuous light yellow drink came served in a pint glass with plenty of ice, which often translates to a watered down cocktail. The Wild Mango Lemonade was no exception to that rule. It was made with Finlandia Wildberry and Mango vodkas, sweet and sour mix, Sierra Mist, and a squeeze of lemon. I don't know if I just haven't had Finlandia vodka before but the flavored alcohol was definitely not up to snuff with only a very subtle hint of either berry or mango in the drink. The end result? A drink that tasted like an extremely watered down Sierra Mist. Remind me not to order this one at the next trivia night, guys.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
