These 10 o’clock closing times are no good for your business I suppose. But I quite like leisurely afternoons with a good cocktail. Just about right for those of us who can’t stay up late these days anyway.
I really enjoyed that Brown Dakota, even though I had to buy a huge carton of grapefruit; should keep me going ‘a while. Trouble is my partner can’t have grapefruit because it doesn’t go with the tablets she’s on, so she stuck to her G&T
You talked about buildings. Well, the strangest building I’ve ever seen was the Emirates Training Centre in Dubai which was shaped like a Jumbo Jet……that was in ’98 so I’m not sure it’s still there. I haven’t seen it when I’ve back….Obscene place Dubai…..hate it.
Anyhow, got a question. One time I was in Mexico City, and went to a place like this. Behind the bar were rows of different tequilas. I tried the most expensive; neat; the bottle came in a little straw basket. It was sooo smmooooth and delicious. But what tequila should I use in making cocktails? There’s white and gold, I know. I used to think that white tequila is not the best, but one place in Clifton served some expensive white tequilas. They were OK, not great, but of course I can’t remember their names so now I’m a bit confused. What do you use?
A single grapefruit squeezed in future? Eat the rest for breakfast. Re: Tequila! I'll do a future post on the subject but thing to go for is "100% Agave". (Otherwise it will be cut with all sorts of other stuff). Silver tequila is transparent, reposado tequila is "rested", i.e. left in barrels for a short time until it's straw-coloured and a little woody. I'd go for reposado if you're getting one bottle - you can use it in all your Margaritas, etc.
Good afternoon Bartender

Really enjoyed the Brown Derby. Never had one before but tasty and very easy. Used Buffalo Trace which seemed to work well.
