Are you ready for something fabulous?
Twenty years ago, Shannon decided to up the game on her then favorite martini: The Cosmopolitan. It was a work in progress, and probably even a labor of love (haha). The end result: The Shantini. Now, I’m not gonna lie, while this little cocktail is not on the actual menu at, Hanna’s Restaurant and Bar, Rancho Santa Margarita, it definitely resides on their shadow menu. So, the next time you honor Hanna’s with your fine presence, and their capable Bartender calls for your order, simply say: “I’ll have a Shantini!” No further explanation is required. A beautiful pink, hand-shaken concoction will arrive directly in front of you–in no time. To which we say, enjoy and cheers!
