Chef Talk: Tuscan Oven's Limonata Cocktail
Meeting a friend for an overdue gabfest, I found myself at Tuscan Oven in Norwalk for cocktails.
Just as I was about to order the requisite martini, I spied a cocktail that whispered summer. The Limonata.
If you find yourself in denial about the cool indecisive weather, or perhaps you'd like to be transported to a sunny afternoon on the Amalfi Coast, this Tuscan Oven cocktail may be just the thing.
