If you read this blog regularly, you know that The Capital Grille has a prix fixe lunch menu that changes with the seasons. The Capital Grille has been kind enough to extend invitations for me to sample the menu several times now.
At lunch, I’d rather avoid any alcohol, so opted to try some of their house-made non-alcoholic drinks. I’ve become quite fond of the grapefruit soda. Made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and Elderflower (not the liquor), it is quite a refreshing treat to pair with their delicious lunch options. I could totally see myself sitting poolside sipping on one of these and not miss the alcohol one bit. I know many who have decided to cut out alcohol or cut back in the near future, so I asked The Capital Grille for the recipe, so I could share it with everyone. Enjoy!
