Want something that looks and tastes great but doesn’t contain alcohol? Cindy’s Lemon Drop Martini ($3.50) at J. Alexander’s Restaurant is a great option. The clever balance of sweet and sour elicits a perfect pucker when fresh lemon juice meets the sugary rim. This is one virgin drink that isn’t too sweet and still looks like a vodka martini in the palm of your hand.
The friendly bartenders at this popular contemporary restaurant can shake up a lemony libation that is sure to add pep in your step. Enjoy it alongside one of several great appetizers at the sleek bar. Sweet, tangy and delicious, this “mocktail” is the perfect refresher for moms-to-be, designated drivers or girls on a night out. Don’t worry; this tantalizing elixir is no “Shirley Temple.” It adds sophistication and fun to your evening without you having to worry about how you’ll feel in the morning. (Map it!)
