youre always gonna make the manhattans and the margaritas but one thing i love about working at a bar is the level of experimentation i can do. figure out new cocktail recipes, mess around w bitters, create new takes on classic drinks!
at this fun place rn where once i ordered a tequila old fashioned w brown butter infused tequila and these crazy bitters and i had a Ratatouille moment where it tasted EXACTLY like the summer camp i worked at but not like the food or anything but the memory of the Dining Hall. To a tee. i ordered it again later that night
