And speaking of The Association’s new cocktail menu, I offer up the Basil and Buckshot. Basil instead of mint gives this a flowery, licoricey feel (not anisey, more…tangy) and a lovely aftertaste.
I like this bar because they are just snotty enough: “No, we won’t serve you vodka and redbull, or Jack and Coke.” But also helpful, “Here, have something that’s better than the crap you think you should order. Make this an experience, not just a gateway to hangover resulting oblivion.”
Also, the bartenders are fun, matching, and creative.
Also they look the other way when you purse the almost-empty bottle of Peychaud’s Bitters.
I want to go to there. Except not really because there is LA and I have perfectly lovely cocktail bars here. Yes, I am a...
