"I was delighted to see you again, and forgot for the moment that all happiness is fleeting." So wonderful to see @shinobipaws again after a 2 year hiatus - thanks to @mtdefiance for the opportunityto try their Gin Noveau!
"There was never a moment between us that did not measure the extent of our true connection. To go harder, take more, die first." No trip to NYC would be complete without a visit to the legendary @pdtnyc - thanks to @sambrooks_bar for the amazing hospitality! This is the "Shark" with butter-infused rum, overproof rum, cane syrup, blue curacao, lemon, pineapple, heavy cream, frangelico, and tiki bitters.
"All the things that happened there just couldn't happen. It was all dream stuff. Or was it all real and true and was it that she, Francie, was the dreamer?" Went to a lot of beautiful Brooklyn bars this weekend but the @hoteldelmano really stood out - just a great moody aesthetic that you can get lost in. This is the "99 Roses" with dry gin, orchard pear, ginger, lemon, and rose water.
"I can wade Grief—
“For a moment I had felt elation as on the instant of waking before one remembers.” Drank with the fashionable set @barchinoisdc amd drank a "La Belle Rose" with mezcal, aperol, Genepy des Alpes, lemon, and egg white.
"The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar—that's wonderful." I ventured into @pubandthepeople new basement bar Side Door and was transported to the 1970s (the good parts) - perfect aesthetic and vibe. This is a "Lion's Tale" with rye, lime, and all spice dram.
