First Friday happy hour rain 🌧️ or shine 💎
The weather may clear. It may not. Either way, there WILL be cocktails! Please come join us at Perez Jewelers this evening for a First Friday open house. Meet Erik and Courtney Perez, talk jewelry, and have a drink. If the weather stays clear, the rooftop patio will be beautiful! I'll start mixing drinks around 5:30, and last call will be about 9:00.
Tonight, I'm happy to feature (among several others) a cocktail called Mi Amaro, which was created by Joaquin Simó of Death & Co. in New York, who said, "This is probably the best stirred tequila drink I've come up with, and it's quite simple: just a Manhattan variation made with some incredible ingredients." Mi Amaro calls for reposado tequila, Amaro CioCiaro, sweet vermouth, and St. Germain. The tequila shines through, but it's accented by woody flavors, gentle bitterness, and a hint of floral sweetness, all topped off with a twist of grapefruit oil. (I won't be serving them in this gorgeous glassware, but they will still be delicious!)
