Mother's Day Weekend Brunch at The Garrison

  Two mouthwatering brunch dishes from The Garrison in Ballard.  For Mother's Day weekend, my family and I dined at The Garrison . This is a locally owned Oyster and Seafood house located in Ballard. I started with a Sunset Espresso Martini. This had Amaro, Licor 43, Cold Brew, and Boomsma Herbal. I didn't really enjoy their version of the drink, and I should have known by reading the ingredients it would be different than the classic cocktail made with espresso. Unfortunately, we didn't really care for my husband's drink, an Almond Croissant Sidecar either. This had a bunch of ingredients and featured Cognac, but we didn't find it very tasty.

Trying a Chocolate Madness shake from the Stone House Cafe

 

A festive Holiday Shake from Laina's Homemade Ice Cream, sold inside the Stone House Cafe in Seattle.  

When I saw that Laina's was making these fun shakes, I couldn't wait to head over to the Stone House Cafe and try one. This summer I visited and got to try a yummy Root Bear Float, a root beer float with a bear on top. You can see that post right here! 

I really wanted the Peppermint one but they were out of the ingredients. So I ordered the Chocolate Madness shake. I chose to have it with Cookies and Cream ice cream. It was topped with a small chocolate donut, a brownie, two chocolate wafer sticks, two Ghirardelli Peppermint Squares, chocolate frosting, walnuts, and I had them add crushed up peppermint on top! 

It was one heck of a milkshake! It was the perfect way to end Christmas. My favorite part of the shake was the actual shake part and the small brownie. And no, I didn't eat this by myself! I had about half the shake and half of the brownie and donut. After having this decadent dessert, we went to the park and tried to get some exercise. 

I liked how the Stone House Cafe was all decked out for the holidays! And I loved how they thought up these shakes. They are so fun, unique, and delicious to consume!
