Frothy Cocktails!
I dunno what got into me, but the past couple weeks I’ve been craving cocktails. It could have been the cocktail show I caught on….whatever channel it was that had a cockatil show. Or it could have been…yeah I have no idea what else could have me craving frothy cocktails. But tonight was the company Christmas Holiday party. Apparently this soiree was planned back in March to be held at the lame sports bar on the corner. The same place we have ANY company going away party, or other “outing” with free booze. Why did you have to plan this in MARCH? Dude it’s not like it’s FANCY or like people WANT to have a party there. UGH.
Anyway, the party was there, and it was fine. The food was…acceptable. I started with a margarita because it was the first beverage that came to mind. All the lovely drinks dude on the cocktail show talked about were out of my brain. I got my margarita (on the rocks – with salt) tasted…odd. Something wasn’t right it was too sweet. A margarita shouldn’t be sweet. I drank it anyway cuz I’m not one to complain to the bartender, who knows what she’ll mix up next for you. I decide my next drink will be a cider (Woodchuck – cuz they carry it) and I’ll be done for the night. I will not satiate the craving for Frothy Cocktails, at least, not in front of my co-workers. But the forces of frothy cocktails were against me. Apparently our private party isn’t allowed CIDER! NO WOODCHUCK FOR YOU!
I said, fine, and got a second margarita. Which again did not taste right. So later, after I finished the second, and ate the acceptable food. I went to the bar to get…something. I ask a co-worker what she’s been drinking and she lists off, a litany of assorted mixed drinks and ends with Miller Light but then she says, “our bartender was mixing up her signature drink earlier, the Key Lime Pie, it was REALLY GOOD.”
Key Lime Pie… I LOVE KEY LIME PIE!
I ordered one straight away, took it to the table I had been sitting at and take a sip… OMG! The heavens opened, I heard the trumpets of angels, a beam of light shone down on the glass in my hand. I am DRINKING A PIE! It was SO GOOD. I was SO GLAD I hadn’t discovered this drink earlier in the evening or I’d have had like… 80 of them, they tasted so good. I have no idea what is in this beverage… this FROTHIEST OF COCKTAILS EVER. But it is AWESOME.
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I was only able to consume 2 of them before they shouted last call and kicked us out. I had a total of 4 cocktails, I wasn’t drunk, but I was happy, although the bus/train/bus trip home took the happy away it did not remove the craving for more Key Lime Pie drinks. That bartender is A GOD! I may need to return to the lame sports bar on the corner for a night of key lime pie drinking and debauchery without the co-workers.
