buzzin' at the bee...


After our walk we gasp with relief at the relative comfort within The Golden Bee. We stake out a table near the air-condtioner and order a round of drinks. The Cocktail Chantaco, a house specialty:

  • fresh squeezed orange juice
  • fresh squeezed pineapple juice
  • splash of grenadine syrup

Served in a tall glass tumbler with ice and rimmed with colored sugar. Ahhh, life is sweet!
