We decided to celebrate renewing our vows after 10 years of marriage with a drink at the Downtown Cocktail Room. We were beyond early for a bar like this one and for that I am grateful.
Mona, the daytime bartender, is a wizard.
If she were a D&D character she would be unbeatable.
I had a spin on a Negroni, made with rye instead of gin, complete with flamed orange oil over the top. Figuring out how to master this on my own will be my end of summer project. It was spectacular.
My wife was indecisive so Mona offered to create something special for her and what she came up with was stunningly tasty and a perfect read of her customer. We just wished we'd paid attention while she invented it in front of us.
We had a fabulous time and will definitely be back.
