Rye... Have you had Luksusowa?But is it made from potatoes? I prefer potato vodka.
All cocktails are good here. I have a good friend interred at Arlington. I used to give him a lot of good-natured ribbing over his love of foo-foo drinks. If they had little umbrellas in them, they were for him.
Please post your foo-foo drinks, for Bob.
In college there was this "speak easy" type of bar in the basement of this office building in a pretty unhip area of town. You entered through a barbershop and then through a bookshelf door in the back of the barber shop and it had the best cocktails ever. I would love to time travel back and see if I can still handle/ like mixed drinks with 3 different types of alcohol. I think the building burned down. Now the most exotic thing I drink a rum and coke (and the rum has to be good stuff like Kraken, not the cheap crap from the good old days).
Yes, now if I could only remember the name of the place! ...OMG the power of google! The Barber's Closet! "The Hotel Washington, 636 W. Washington Ave., burned down Feb. 18, 1996, taking with it several beloved bars. Club de Wash, pictured here, was a popular live music venue. The building housed a variety of bars and restaurants, including the New Bar, Rod's Club, the Barber's Closet, MicroBar and the Cafe Palms and Espresso Bar." Club de Wash had concerts and was also in the building somewhere and there was also gay biker bar with lots of leather clad chaps on the dance floor that we wandered into after too many cocktails at the Barber's Closet.Madison?

Does your lawn have grass?Last Saturday it seemed like a lovely day for a little day drinking. Our 24-year-old daughter and I harvested mint from the garden, and yes, sniffed the mint. Then we 'muddled it' and made perfectly crisp mojitos. So yummy.
The lawn did not get mowed.
