AHHHH......Summer Cocktails

SITTING ON the patio at Daniel's Broiler, drinking a cooler or a smash, what could be better? Seven new cocktails with that in mind have been created for you to indulge. The newest vintage cocktails for summer are the Brooklyn, the El Diablo, first created in 1937 includes 1800 tequila with Creme de Cassis, lime and ginger soda and housemade lime bitters or try the Spiced Caiparinha with a twist of Cardamom, ginger and housemade lime bitters.

Some of the new seasonal cocktails include the Grand Smashed, Orient, Union Squared and the Lavender Martini.

The Spiced Caiparinha with the Cardamom and ginger will pair nicely with our Ahi Tuna appetizer. The Union Squared is a well-balanced cocktail of Ransom Gin from Oregon, strawberries and basil.

Successful Charity Event

This year's Play Fore Kids charity golf tournament was a great success. Seventy-two players participated, raising $8000.00 net for the Childhood Cancer Careline, a fund that helps local families battling childhood cancer.

The event was held at the beautiful and challenging 18-hole championship golf course at the Bear Creek Country Club Monday. Considered one of the five best golf courses in the Pacific Northwest, the course was designed by Jack Frei. The event included a barbecue lunch, carts, and generous prizes.

Whoever shot a hole in one this year would win a Mercedes Benz, which would have been donated by Barrier Motors. Nobody won it this year, but it could be you next year.

Aleana, the thirteen year-old daughter of Menno Groenhout (founder and organizer of the event) won the long drive for the women and Michael Peterson, expediter for Daniel's Broiler - Bellevue, won the men's long drive.

Michael also won the putting contest (shown receiving his award from Menno).

One of our favorite guests at Daniel's Broiler in Bellevue, Ray Barner, won the tournament with his foursome. And a foursome made up of four Daniel's Broiler team members — Kelly Ehley, Thomas Pankiewicz, Mike Peterson and Kyle Capps (pictured below) — came in second.

The silent auction was very productive also. Everyone had fun, and all for a good cause. We hope you can join us next year for the third annual Play Fore Kids golf tournament.

Daniel's Broiler - Bellevue Getting a Deck

Of the three Daniel's Broilers, Bellevue has been the only one without an outdoor deck. Starting this month, those days are over. The construction of the deck is in full swing. We're aiming to have the project completed by mid July.

The deck is located off the main lounge, with a view overlooking Lake Washington, the city of Seattle, and the Olympic Mountains.

The photo show some of the construction guys getting it done.

Are you ready to have a drink outdoors at the top of Bellevue, watching the sunset on a beautiful summer evening?
