This unbearable heat has taken its toll on me. I don’t seem to have the energy to write a whole lot, so here are some of the highlights from my Wednesday night visit to Drink with Paula.
The Americano—the predecessor to the Negroni—is a great drink for a 95 degree day. Campari, sweet vermouth and soda is bitter and smooth and refreshing.
I think my Americano was a much better choice than say, a Blue Blazer. Yes, someone actually ordered these. Maybe it’s just me, but scotch on fire in the middle of a heat wave seems like an odd choice.
The JDP is going international. We met a very sweet Canadian couple, Brianna and Kevin, and suggested that Brianna might enjoy a JDP a bit more than a Blue Blazer. She did.
Our evening ended with two mini JDPs—thank you, Sam!
I am making our Wednesday outing sound pretty low key, but I am leaving out many details about some of our fellow imbibers which made things interesting and entertaining. Cheers!
Thanks to Paula for the photos.
