So, we’ve been doing the world’s slowest bar crawl, having one drink a week, at different bars at this posh outdoor mall where the grocery is. So far:

Sports bar - not even shaken, sour mix and bourbon poured over ice. Actually bad.

Casual fresh organic restaurant - bartender asked if I wanted egg white and cracked an egg to get it! So good. Amaretto cherry, very classic.

Rooftop bar - good but not as good as it was expensive. Shaken, tasty.

Asian restaurant - again, not shaken, and this time with a splash of soda? And some bourbon floated on top too. It was good (good bourbon, real lemon, not sweet) but not what I expected.

I have been really surprised to get this much difference in less than a square block.
