Could I complete 30 days of new experiences without the obligatory "bartending"?
Sure couldn't.
Tonight, I finally mixed a real drink at a real bar! I might add that it was delicious.
Fortunately, a friend from work knows the owner of a bar who was graciously willing to let me live out yet another 30 for 30 dream. If you're in the East Village, you should definitely check out The Wren http://www.thewrennyc.com/ for some awesome drinks, gastropub food (spicy beef jerkey), and AMAZING bartenders (not just me).
The cocktail I chose to make for my 30s was called a black and blue.
Yep, it started with two scoops of blueberry jam! Then I added the small part of the small measurer of lime juice.
Then I added a big thing and a medium thing of some delicious type of alcohol. I added 6 ice cubes and then I got to...
shake shake shake! Of course, I had to top it off with a splash of soda. So, bartending is actually a lot harder than it looks! There are so many parts involved in just making one drink - I couldn't keep it straight. I definitely remembered to tip my bartender well ;)
Bottom's up.
This one's for you, L.♥
