Trader Vic's Almost Here ...

The website for the new Chicago Trader Vic's at 1030 N. State is live. And while there's not much on it yet, you can sign up for their newsletter and also peruse the cocktail menu. Well, perhaps you should limit your perusal unless you have a drool cup handy. Because just reading names like Menehune Juice, Doctor Funk Son and Hot Rum Cow has already kicked our salivary glands into action.

There will be a new drink on offer just for our location, Don the Trader. The cocktail "resembles the soul and history of our city" and includes over proof rum, pineapple, lemon, grenadine, and orange curacao. Man oh man. As far as we know the new digs will open by month's end, and to honor the occasion we're planning a special post with a fancy slideshow. Keep your eyes peeled and in the meantime, hang loose howies.
