*Attempting to recreate a drink I had at 44½ (New
York City)
**Rhum (Portland, Maine, now closed. This is the
only drink I ever ordered there, and it made me so happy. The bartender set the
umbrella on fire right in front of you, its charred remains left for your
enjoyment. It’s likely I will never attempt to gather these specific
ingredients and make it myself, but I should. Posting here just in case I need
to find the recipe.)
I cannot afford to drink with you, but I want to.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we drink at home.
DeleteI know, I think as part of our mythical meet-up we should have a cocktail party, with Indigo providing bartending/bantering services.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Math. Can't banter and bartend at the same time. I'm not that smart.
DeleteHelen, mythical? Shame on you!!
DeleteI love the name and symbolic burning of the umbrella in the last one.
ReplyDeleteIt was an utter delight.
