Springfield is renowned for many things, and the capital city really does have a drink with absolutely nothing Lincoln about it except for the location. The President Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center, 701 E. Adams St., has a little pub at street level called The Globe. Bar manager Kathleen Hunter can whip you up a fine sippin' drink that will give you a nice warm glow before you head out into the world again.

How to make it

In an 8-ounce martini glass mix:

3 oz of Bailey's Irish Cream

½ oz Hiram Walker Black Raspberry Liqueur or Chambord

Splash of club soda for a little fizz

Garnish with shaved chocolate

It can be served with the raspberry liqueur swirling around in the Bailey's, or it can be shaken over ice.
