Sarasota is Tops for Dogs | |
There's no shortage of places to take your furry friend along in Sarasota. It's a town of pet lovers — from parks to cafes to markets to hotels; dogs are often part of the fun—if not the main attraction.
Downtown Sarasota is great for strolling with your pup, especially when there is a roadside watering hole. We are sure that the bowl outside of the Peninsula Sarasota Sales Gallery at 127 S. Pineapple Avenue is always full.

Summer Mocktails are all the Rage
Alcohol-free versions of cocktails to make at home
| |
Mocktails or virgin drinks are nonalcoholic mixed drinks that can be as refreshing as any cocktail. Just mix up juices, sodas, and syrups to create refreshing beverages and enjoy. From favorites like the Moscow Mule to the Gin Gimlet, explore these sans alcohol drink recipes that you can make at home. Or, head over to Siesta Key Oyster Bar, where they serve mocktails such as Siesta Sunset, a bright yellow drink with a mixture of pineapple juice, lime juice, and soda water topped with a sweet strawberry pureé. Jack Dusty's at the Ritz Carlton will stir you a Ginger Love with peppercorn, lime, mint, cucumber and ginger beer!
Enjoy these mocktails at home: Mango Mule, Virgin Cucumber Gimlet, Shirley Ginger, Blueberry Mojito, and Berry Burlesque.

The awards were presented to Anne and Robert Essner for Umbrella House; Brian and Katherine Leaver for the Cunliff Residence; Bob Brown for the Golden Host & Bahi Hut; and Don and Terri Liebentritt - The Cottage at Point of Rocks.
A jury of local architecture and history experts and advocates judged for their success in the rehabilitation, restoration, or adaptive use of a historic building in Sarasota County and the project's impact on the community.
