Bar Vinedo is a family-run restaurant here in Queen Creek and they have put together an original cocktail recipe just for us. Called 'Love at First Sight' it is chock full of berries, a splash of citrus, and flavored with the juice of the pomegranate. This ancient fruit was used in many wedding traditions and in Greek culture symbolizes fertility and prosperity. So raise a glass and drink to love!
