Putting 17 cocktails
on the menu when you normally have none… well, that’s a challenge.
But nothing that
can’t be tackled with some serious preparation. But serious doesn’t have to be
tedious: yesterday evening the bar staff of Thornbridge and I had a blast
trying out all the drinks that will be served on May 13th, World
Cocktail Day.
So I ended up tasting
18 cocktails. We took two shots at the Hole in One to fine-tune the Scotch we’ll
be using and we decided to also mix up a Perfect Manhattan (not to be confused
with a perfect Manhattan, but we’ll certainly do our best next Saturday).
The count would have
been 19, but Siem was hugging his White Russian (but that was well deserved,
you can see him taking notes in the picture).
Although Daan will be
enjoying his birthday and will not be behind the bar, I’ll let him mix my
Sazerac anytime. And the Vesper of Guus was enough to land him a role in the
next Casino Royale remake (if we could ever get him into a suit and out of his
cap).
We’ll be ready on the
13th of May. You’re very welcome to
join us on this singular event.
No Bunny Hugs,
though.
