Spring has Sprung. It is Mid-April and Chapel Hill, North Carolina is already 80 degrees. Martini time! Make yourself one of Todd’s signature Guava-Lychee…umm…somethingerruthers. (Note the Tigers shot glass)
Todd's Magical Guava-Lychee Springtime Elixer
Mix with ice in a shaker for about 30 seconds:
2 oz Vodka
2 oz Guava Juice (obtained from a local mexican Tienda – more to come on that front)
1 oz Lychee Juice (obtained at local, organic, fair trade, child-labor free, carbon neutral, Food Co-op)
I knew it was starting to feel like Summer. Oberon’s official release is this Monday, however Sidetracks will begin serving it at 12:00 AM on Sunday (well, kinda Monday). 22oz glasses are $2.95 on Sunday, and pints are $3.00. Summer is here!
Port of Call (Love the cook in the background smoking…)
It’s a Friday night and cocktails come to mind! Port of Call specializes in a particular drink called the “Monsoon.” This delicious concoction will cause a 200 lb man on an empty stomach to begin to see New Orleans as it really is: fantastic!
Part of the drink list. I'm ready to walk the plank alright…
Good god…and yes, I got a To-Go Cup. Walking around with one of these is a badge of honor among all the ‘hand grenades’ and stupid ‘yard’ beers that Nebraskan college student/tourists always seem to be carrying around.
Swept away by the Monsooooooon!
You’ll also notice the Turtle – the solid red, Tequila based drink that you see in the background. Folks, take note – that’s a SMALL that you see.
Surprised this picture isn't blurry…
Well, that’s about it from Port O’ Call in NOLA. I’m moving on to the other places now. I’m a bit wobbly and there’s 3 of everything, but damn I feel good in the big easy!
