Summer cocktails you want to have

We got to try four adult beverages that are featured on the new summer menu.

Grapefruit Ricky – American Harvest, St. Germaine, fresh grapefruit juice and a squeeze of lime.
Cucumber Rita – Herradura Reposado Tequila, Brovo Boomerang, cucumber, house-made sour & salt of course
Blueberry Buck – Smirnoff Blueberry Vodka, fresh lime, simple syrup, Barritt’s Ginger Beer and shaved nutmeg
MIA Tavern Beer – Amarillow & Mosaic Hops, Tropical IPA with hints of pineapple and grapefruit

So which was the favorite? The Blueberry Buck was the hands down group choice. But beware it’s one of those drinks that sneaks up on you! The Grapefruit Ricky and Cucumber Rita were both delicious and definitely something I’d have again.

I’m not a beer drinker and that pesky pineapple allergy prevented me from trying the MIA Tavern Beer. But I heard from multiple ladies that it was really good.

Appetizers to get you started

Again there were four that we got to sample. And I honestly could have made a meal out of just appetizers!

I didn’t try the Ahi Tuna Poke, because I’m not a huge seafood person, but those that did absolutely raved about it. I could eat the Fig and Bacon Toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for the rest of my life and be a-ok. It was my favorite out of everything. Add in Marlow’s Famous Hummus and Watermelon Salad and I’m done. No need to see the rest of the menu… Expect for the fact that it’s all AH-Mazing.

Such a sweet ending – desserts

Ok, seriously by this point I was bursting at the seams but I didn’t stop myself.

NY Style Cheesecake – Classic creamy vanilla cheesecake, strawberry, powdered sugar and cinnamon crisp
Fried Banana Split – Phyllo wrapped banana, panko crusted, vanilla ice cream, chocolate, strawberry and caramel sauces with salted caramel whipped cream
Classic Creme Brulee – The NYC classic, house-made with Madagascar vanilla bean and crispy sweet crust
Pot De Creme Chocolate Pudding – House-made chocolate pudding, served in cast iron, chocolate sauce, salted caramel whipped cream and shortbread cookie

Rich, creamy and scrumptious sums up each and every one of the desserts we tried. The were all a wonderful way to end the day, but the creme brulee was top on my list. I love the crunchy, sugary top with the ultra creamy custard.

Being newer to the area I am always looking for that local hangout where I can get a great cocktail and food to match. So, I jumped at the chance to try the summer offerings at Marlow’s Tavern Orlando. And as you can tell the food was THE BOMB.
