After the disappointing mojito Lis had at STIX . . .

Lis decided that she deserved a good mojito. She decided that she wanted Jackson Cannon to make one for her, because she figured he'd be able to do it right. So we went to Eastern Standard, and Jackson Cannon made her a mojito and he did it right. It totally wiped out the memory of the other one. It was even better than the other one was disappointing.

I had a drink that Tom, Jackson's apprentice, had developed, and it was amazing. It was the . . . um. . . something-or-other Bramble. It had . . . um . . . stuff in it. Like ginger beer. And, y'know, stuff.

Yeah. Like that.

Y'all want one.

I also bought lingonberry syrup, orange blossom water, and rose water at Cardullo's in Harvard Square, and Peychaud's bitters at a liquor store next door to Eastern Standard.
