OPO: $14 USD cocktail

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Going to a snooty downtown bar with expensive cocktails and a dress code. I've been here before, but not for a few years, and I can't remember what's good. I'm going to buy one drink and sip it slowly while I catch up with my friend from college. What should I order?

Fuega De Roso

leaning toward the secretariat but i worry that drinking a secretariat after derby day is akin to wearing white after labor day.

doors of paradise vs the brass furnace

― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:20 (eleven years ago)

v. bullish on basil in a drink; doors of paradise sounds good.

Tennessee Twist

― Here's the storify, of a lovely ladify (Phil D.), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:23 (eleven years ago)

I'd go padova sour because I like egg white drinks. That might be a challop?

― polyphonic, Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:23 (eleven years ago)

Padova Sour, with The Mistress second.

― slamming on the dubstep brakes (snoball), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:24 (eleven years ago)

no, egg white drinks are classic. what else does one put in a pisco sour?

― freelance helgenberger (get bent), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:24 (eleven years ago)

i've had cocktails like the mistress + always enjoyed them

Bad writing, but I bet you'll like the cocktail you get.

― only dogg forgives (Eazy), Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago)

yeah the brand is old etc but anyway

probably the padova thing

I DIED to thread; I have had more $14 cocktails with him than all other humans combined, I think. Though tabs seem to shrink or disappear mysteriously when he is around, which is probably the only reason I am financially solvent in the weeks following our drinkfests.

― quincie, Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:38 (eleven years ago)

yeah i think they mean the brand is old, but they also spelled the brand name wrong so

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 8 August 2013 19:39 (eleven years ago)

haha ouch.

House of Morgan

they spelled capsaicin wrong too. i want a dollar off my cocktail for every typo on this menu.

For some reason this reminds me of the how my mom learned to use Excel. When I went off to college, my folks gave me a credit card on their account for "emergencies." I only recall using it once, when my car broke down on PA turnpike and the tow truck wouldn't come to get me without a cc number. Comes time for my younger brother to go to college, he was also given an emergency cc.

Parents got the first month of cc charges and told John he needed to gtfo with the bar tab charges; needing drinks did not constitute an emergency. John proceeded to abuse cc privileges for another month, after which my mom enrolled in a 3-hour Excel class for the express purpose of creating a spreadsheet/pie chart to detail his "emergency" expenditures, then cancelled his card.

i should state i don't really think there's a bad-sounding drink on here

― call all destroyer, Friday, 9 August 2013 03:03 (eleven years ago)

Agreed, making me wish I was a better drinker.

xp that feels like a bit of a curveball given poll results and your stated preferences, gb!

― call all destroyer, Friday, 9 August 2013 12:15 (eleven years ago)

the menu they had at the place had different cocktails than the one online! i was gonna do the tennessee twist for a follow-up but we left to go to this other bar.

― freelance helgenberger (get bent), Friday, 9 August 2013 16:36 (eleven years ago)

i misread padova as pavlova sour and thought that sounded delicious!

padova sounds ok too

Fluids might need to be topped up slightly.
