Sometimes, there is absolutely nothing better than girlfriends
getting together for a few cocktails and some great food. Last night, your
fearless blog authors joined up with two old friends (okay, they are not old,
they are younger than us, but we’ve been friends for a looong time) at a great
St. Louis restaurant called Salt for drinks and dinner. The night evolved into
constant chatter, laughter and some side-splitting conversation.
We arrived first. Sharon wanted the Salt Smash, a lovely
bourbon, mint and peach syrup combo. Barb wanted something a bit more
traditional – and the bartender happily made a house 1862 Manhattan using
Buffalo Trace bourbon, orange curacao and bitters. Jen joined in with the
aquavit-laced, slightly sour drink called “Momentary Lapse of Judgment.” Then Sylvia arrived. She desperately wanted
vodka but there wasn’t a signature cocktail on the menu that contained that
particular spirit. We asked our awesome, patient waiter Katie that she request
the bartender to concoct a personalized vodka drink for our friend. Sylvia
listed that she wanted a fruity, summery, flirty, sparkly and fun cocktail.
Moments later, the drink arrived…the cosmo-based but still unique concoction
hit all of Sylvia’s requests. We love it when a bartender can use his/her creativity
to make a patron happy!
Cheers to friendship, cool cocktails, and a fun time!
