madison's magnus














Last night Kaitlin and I attended a most lovely wedding for our dear friends Caeli and Rick. They rented out the restaurant Magnus in Madison for the reception and it was really really delicious. Magnus uses locally grown organic produce, local meats and flies in its seafood. I was really happy that there was a buffet so I could try literally everything. From the sashimi sea scallops and ahi tuna to the beef tenderloin and mushroom struedel, gnocchi, roasted potatoes, green beans ... it was just a fantastic meal. I highly recommend dinner at Magnus if you are ever in Madison.

















Oh, P.S. dessert was to die for and the drinks were divine.
Magnus has many specialty cocktails, my favorite was probably the Batida but here are a few others my friends and I enjoyed:
Batida (Cachca rum w/ passion fruit, lemon sugar & tamarind served straight up)
Mojito (Cachaca rum w/fresh mint, lime and sugar on the rocks)
Chilcano de Pisco (Pisco, Gingerale, lime juice)
Caipirinha (Cachca rum w/ lime, lemon & sugar on the rocks)
Latte Maria (Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka, Rompope, fresh nutmeg)
Madre Jaguar (Amarula, Creole Schrubb Rum, cream and orange zest)
S. African Raspberry (Amarula & Chambord on ice)
