A (Henny) Penny for Your Thoughts

I recently caught up with a great friend at a restaurant we both love, Pappadeaux. I tried two of the drinks there but decided to use one of them to share with you all today. In fact, I’ve been a little behind in getting my Thirsty Thursday reviews out but I digress. The first drink I tried was Blueberry Apple Mule. I won’t go into detail about this one since I’ve reviewed a couple of mule inspired drinks. Nonetheless, just know that it was great – and I would try it again.

Now, on to the Henny Penny. Honestly, the name initially drew me into this one. Hennessy was another selling point for me. I decided to go out on a limb and try something new. After all, we were at Pappadeaux. The likelihood of me disliking the drink was very low. Thankfully I was right on the penny (or rather, the money). I know….I couldn’t resist.

The Henny Penny consisted of Hennessy V.S., lemon juice, house-made pomegranate cherry grenadine, blackberries, and Moscato d’Asti. Often times, drinks that mix subtle, sweet, and strong flavors come up with short with meeting the expectations of my taste buds. However, the Henny Penny is an infectious blend of smooth flavors that pack a potent kick with a sweet kiss at the end. Yep, it’s that good. My only complaint is the drink should come in a larger glass.

Hopefully, you all are enjoying the festive holiday season! If my plans work accordingly, I’ll have a very exciting review to share for next week’s Thirsty Thursday post. Bottoms up!
