Quiet. Quaint. Cozy. A quintessential place for a cocktail. Beginning this month, Preston's lounge, located inside the Riverside Hotel, will serve up themed, seasonal spirits. The first two concoctions are flavored spooktacularly.

Moontini
1 1/2 ounces vodka
3/4 ounces blue cointreau
3/4 ounces orange juice
optional garnish - orange slice, or orange rind

Vampire
1 part bourbon whiskey
1 part Drambuie
1 part Dubonnet

From Halloween to New Year's Eve and all the holiday celebrations in between, Preston's skilled bartenders are pouring an extensive selection of classic cocktails, as well as single malt Scotches, bourbons, whiskies and port wines.

Start the first leg of your holiday vacation or next business trip to Fort Lauderdale off right. Kick back or fly high with a soothing cocktail, aperitif and appetizer or delicious meal from any of the Riverside Hotel's three restaurants, Grill Room, Indigo or the Golden Lion without having to leave the lobby.

Or, simply unwind after work. Grab a seat and catch up on the latest news or sports highlights from one of the many flat screen TV's surrounding the bar. Preston's, with its social atmosphere and wireless Internet access (WiFi), is Las Olas Boulevard's virtual 'hotspot.'

Tired of staying in to beat the summer heat? South Florida fall and winter months give Preston's an extra edge - a lusciously landscaped covered garden patio with stylish patio furniture and all the amenities of the hotel at your beck and call.

Preston's, located inside the Riverside Hotel lobby at 620 East Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, is open every evening from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m.
