Instagram bait — but make it bloody
Taco spot Mex 1 Coastal Cantina has a new drink called the Shark Attack. It combines Sprite with Blue Curacao to give the beverage ocean color, and it’s served with Grenadine hidden in a toy shark. You dunk in the shark to make the water look like an attack just happened. See it action here.
Summer menu
Jazz Age bar Prohibition has a new summer menu to reflect seasonal produce. For example, the menu now features a warm crab toast with corn and peas or an heirloom tomato salad.
