Why I drink at home

[gutterboylive]

I suppose, in this tricky-martini town, it was inevitable...

Actually, no. No, it wasn't. It could have been avoided. But it wasn't.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:

The Pad Thai Martini.

I missed that one.

Vanilla vodka shaken with honey? That is weird.

What, a mixture of tequila, strawberry puree, fresh thyme, and lime syrup doesn't appeal to you?

Your palate needs to be educated.

LOL

I can't handle tequila. Odd for someone of my race, but it's true. ;-)

If ever a restaurant needed a suicide bomber...

I love their website, because where ordinary mortals would say "Take a look at our menu," they say, "Open the veritable book of beverages...."

What were they trying for? "Venerable"? That doesn't make sense either. Ah, well, it sounds Fancy.

It's way too fancy. I wasted almost five minutes just trying to find that vile Thai martini, because they can't be like mere mortals and list the types of drinks. Oh no. Each section has to have a fashionable name.

My stomach can't get past this one:

So you don't think the idea of listing martinis as "sweet" or "savory" is going to catch on?

I almost want to come visit just so I can laugh at that place in person.

[crankycatlady]

Well, it is just two blocks from Powell's...

[fastcloud]

Powell's? How my ears perked up at that. Of course, going to get a drink would mean leaving the mecca of books...

The one time I visited Portland (years ago), I spent every fricking evening of the week I was there at one Powell's or another, and ended up with an embarrassing number of books.

Well, you could outsnob them and order it with 23-year Barbancourt rum, a particular brand of cola only available in Prague, and demand to know what side of the hill the lime was grown on.
