Hey, throw in the condom with the Asti and wear a corset while purchasing!! And a a copy of The Economist; flout expectations! Fun people watching.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I get these when I go to Liliane's here in Madison. They're a New Orleans themed restaurant that now carries 6 different brands of absinthe. They even offer taster flights!

Whiskey sour. Girly drink in disguise.
Hopefully if I were with Rachel Maddow the place would be classy enough to make us good ones. If they didn't, she and I could bitch about how hard it is to find good ones.
It's win/win really.

I went through a long amaretto sour phase in my 20's. Damn, I haven't had one of those in a long, long time. Too sweet, I think, for my taste now.

So, basically an old-fashioned with a touch of absinthe?
I don't know. Part of my rule for classy is not having to a)give a long explanation to the bartender and b)develop a rep as the kind of pretentious boob who assumes that bars carry multiple varieties of bitters on the off chance someone will order one of these.
I'll try one at the Violet Hour or someplace where they specifically push them as part of their vibe or something, but otherwise? Unless they suddenly catch on and everyone has them. Stranger things have happened.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to buy condoms.
Bourbon (rocks), bold red wine, buttery chardonnay, dark beer. I'm a simple woman.

Steph's grocery list: condoms, bourbon, wine, beer, corset strings.
You're a simple little vanilla girl, yo.

Dude! Any bar that doesn't have Angostoura and Peychaud bitters would be unable to do half the drinks in any classic cocktail book.
I get that not every bar is going to have All-Spice Dram but any self-respecting bar that does more than pull Guinness would have those bitters.

So what should the "not a heavy drinker, does not like the taste of anything stronger than wine straight" order? Is white wine a fail? Sherry?
