Never really been a big fan of cocktails that include herbs. I don't mind mojitos, but, every once in while, you get some drink slinker who thinks they're serving you a salad instead of a soothing sipper.
Hate it when they chop the mint up into little itty bitty pieces. Not only do you now have a drink with floaters, but you have to worry about getting green bits stuck between your teeth.
But this weekend I had the herb cocktails of all herb cocktails at Rae restaurant in Philly. This is a very cool restaurant in the new Cira Centre building at 2929 Arch St. (Next to 30th Street Station.)
The Rae Cocktail ($10) is a super cold combo of vodka, blood orange juice and tarragon. Yep, tarragon. It works. A single sprig floating in the drink. Nice.
