In response to the phenomenon described in this article from last year, Popolos Cafe at Preston Royal Shopping Center has a new drink this summer called the Purple Martin-i. I stopped by to try one last Wednesday night. The purple, chilled drink is served in a martini glass. And it really does taste "purple" (one person at the bar described it as tasting like alcoholic Kool-Aid, "...that could get you in trouble - easy to drink"). The purple martin birds, for which the drink was named, have been seen circling the area just before sunset. Popolos happy hour is Mondays through Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunset is at about 8:30 p.m. Get one for $4 at happy hour; $7 at other times. Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales will be contributed to the new Audubon Center on the Trinity. The ingredients are vodka, Curacao liqueur and raspberry pucker. |

What's good in the way of food?

They're known for their signature turkey chili. I like their calamari (I like just about any calamari). And their pizzas are nice because you get a lot of variety such as Margarita pizza, goat cheese and artichokes, traditional pepperoni, etc.
They have salads, soups, pastas. And they have live music, which is a bonus.

They have a nice bar, too. Don't park under a tree.
