The Perfect Cocktail

Mondays are hard enough. There's no need to make them worse by searching for the perfect cocktail. And so, tonight I categorically refused to search.

Instead, I just went straight to Flatiron Lounge.

I know I've waxed poetic about this Art Deco watering hole before. But, trust me, this place is worth every syllable - especially when I'm ordering a deep pink Cherry Fizz. A bubbly beauty, enriched with tart cherry juice, Scotch (yes, Scotch), and topped with brandy-infused cherries, this cocktail practically turned my Monday night into a Friday evening. (Well, Thursday eve, perhaps...)

Mmmmmmmm...

Pure decadence in a glass.

I was supremely happy.

Another sip.

Mmmmmmmm...

And, to think, I hadn't even explored the wonderful world of gin yet! (Not to mention the cute gent on the next stool, angling to catch my eye.)

All in all, a lovely Friday night. Or was it Thursday?

Then again, is the idea of Monday evening really so bad?

Tonight - not too bad at all.

Ok I thought your Juniper Breeze was the yummiest thing I had ever sipped, even over my all time favorite Ramos Gin Fiz but now I will have to see how this one stacks up.

Finally caught up on your posts. (It's been that kind of a week). I have to agree: cherry juice, Scotch and brandy-infused cherries sound like a much tastier combo than pork rinds and white chocolate. (Actually, almost anything sounds better than that combo... it's the first time, I've actually found an exception to my general rule that anything tastes better dipped in chocolate).
Great to see you Tuesday.

So was the gent next to you able to catch your eye?

What can I say? I'm a sucker for gent with a Cheshire cat smile and a devilish wink...Okay, perhaps I can do without the wink. But, I most definitely stand by the smile.
