Boston, Part 2

At the end of our last post, we had just left Drink, the warehouse cellar of mixology, and was immediately assaulted by the coarse Atlantic air, now a brisk 50-something degrees and whipping. Cindy had a lead on a bar and bartender at the Ritz-Carlton; luckily, the bar is known for its blazing eye-level fireplace, unluckily, it was still a mile walk away! Comforted by the fact that we are Wisconsinites still acclimated to continental old-man-winter, we sauntered down Altantic Avenue and up Essex to the Ritz’s bar, the Avery.

Catdaddy Express

One of our new liquors for Winterfest XVIII was Catdaddy Carolina Moonshine - a North Carolinian oddball that will surprise those of you who have actually had moonshine (Tubstud, go to hell). I would liken Catdaddy to Seagram's 7 if you stirred in Krispy Kreme cream filling into it. In other words, this Catdaddy is a moonshine that can cozy up to the ladies. Along those lines, we made use of our new moonshine to craft an espresso drink with an added chocolate verve.
