They're both delightful and easy to make, and yet pretty much every time I order one in a bar I either have to explain what it is to begin with, or ask for something to be changed so that my second one is as delightful as it should be.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, your review of "Twist" is totally spot on. No cocktail menu? No care about classic cocktails? You're absolutely right that there's more to spirits than serving them in half-gallon glasses covered in cream and sugar. It's not like the classic cocktail revival is exactly new, people like Jean-Robert should be all over this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck for your hunt for a lounge with true class!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720595112492038266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12074388.post-55209467498462703522008-02-05T15:27:00.000-05:002008-02-05T15:27:00.000-05:00I really want to like Negronis -- I love things th...I really want to like Negronis -- I love things that taste terrible -- but they just go a little too far for me. Maybe it's the Campari... maybe baby steps are required with that.<BR/><BR/>You should talk to my friend <A HREF="http://www.ardenstone.com/2007/02/01/negroni/" REL="nofollow">Chris</A>, who often feels very alone with his love of the Negroni.AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961200742501382827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12074388.post-59214629466222890612008-02-05T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-05T13:38:00.000-05:00I love Negronis.

Sure, it's not for the faint of hear but that's the fun of it. Sometimes I can get a good one at Palomino.<BR/><BR/>I also like your beloved Manhattans, and just about anything with gin in it.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822908765420760660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12074388.post-74717838497045513092008-02-05T12:54:00.000-05:002008-02-05T12:54:00.000-05:00Wait, you like Negronis?Wait, you like Negronis?AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961200742501382827noreply@blogger.com
