Smirnoff Sorbet Light is exactly what that title conjures up. It’s the world’s best-selling vodka infused with berries, mangos, lemon and other fruits to create one of three new light, bright and fun flavors. Joined by a few girlfriends, we sampled, experimented and laughed the night away while mixing up the light and fruity cocktails. And at 25% fewer calories, it’s easy to make it both a guiltless pleasure and a summer cocktail staple.

Swingin’ at Sully’s: Sullivan’s Steakhouse Chicago
My first fancy date ever was at Sullivan’s Steakhouse in Austin, TX. I was in college. He was very established and said we could go wherever I wanted to go. I consulted with my girlfriends and we settled on Sullivan’s- where I would feel the most special.
Lots has changed in my life since that night and yet the excellence of Sullivan’s brand of steak has remained. For me, the most important part of any upscale dining experience is customer service. I know some will say food ranks higher, but I disagree. Service makes or breaks an experience for me. And that’s why I would recommend Keith Sansone and his team at Sullivan’s Steakhouse when you want to celebrate a special occasion in downtown Chicago. They care enough to do it right.
Asta and I visited on a Thursday which- along with Sundays, boasts Swingin’ at Sully’s. The nightly special includes $6 appetizers and specialty cocktails in the lounge bar which includes live jazz music in the heart of River North. The crowd is grown up and established, so if you are looking to make some like-minded friends, you’ve come to the right place.
After enjoying our appetizer and signature cocktails, Asta and I sat in the beautiful downstairs dining room as Keith and his staff continued to anticipate our every need. Whatever wine was suggested to me (I forgot, but it was yummy), went perfectly with each of the steak filets that I ordered. The seared tuna was perfectly cooked as I’m sure everything that comes out of the kitchen is. I have to admit that we were a bit overzealous in ordering, but it made for an incredible lunch the next day.
Though it was not an official celebration, Asta and I were treated to a very sweet surprise (see video) that was the icing on the metaphorical cake. (We had no room in our bellies for real cake which I’m sure is amazing.)
If you are traveling through or living in Chicago, and want a swanky place to hang, I would recommend Sullivan’s especially on Swingin’ with Sully’s nights (Thursdays and Sundays). If you are celebrating a special occasion and want to make sure your party is treated as the special and valuable group that you are, call (312) 527-3510 and tell Keith I sent you.
