Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't talk about another riff on a Mint Julep to sip on during the Derby?
We're looking at a different kind of racing animal today: the greyhound. Fast, sleek and plenty of attitude.
Kind of like the Vanilla Ginger Greyhound, the signature cocktail at North Italia, which opened yesterday in Uptown. This simple take on a traditional day drink gives a delightful note of vanilla and a slight touch of ginger to what is usually an overpoweringly bitter juice. Even better, the vodka will be hair of the dog that will right your indiscretions from the night before. (Well, at least one of them.)
Catch it before it's gone.
Vanilla Ginger Greyhound ($10): house ginger- and vanilla-infused vodka, muddled grapefruit, simple syrup, lemon, grapefruit juice
North Italia, 2301 N. Akard St. (Uptown)
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
