Probably should go in a different thread, but we were supposed to be on our way to Montreal and looking forward to dinner at Mon Lapin. But I've come down with a horrible cold 2 days ago (not covid, thankfully) and decided it was not gonna happen, since we go to Montreal to basically eat great food.

I feel bad for the host, but I sent her a nice email and she said not to worry, Happy Thanksgiving - and I'm hoping Wu's is open today. Green Isaac's Special Ingredients 2 ounces London dry gin 4 ounces unsweetened coconut water 1 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed 3 dashes Angostura bitters Garnish: lime wedge or peel
