Cleared for landing: Key Lime Pie has arrived at The Downwind. ๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ๐Ÿฐ

Flown in from Florida by way of Mike's Pies, this is the original: graham cracker crust, award winning filling made with egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and authentic Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Juice. We finish it with a drizzle of key lime sauce and fresh whipped cream.

The flavor pops. Bright, fresh, cold, and exactly what a Georgia summer afternoon is asking for. Ten out of ten.

This one is here for a limited time and we do not expect it to stick around. Come get a slice while it lasts.
