Not So Merry Widows Juice it up in January

As the guitar player serenaded the dwindling brunch set, we sidled up to the Deluxe bar in anticipation of our first an Alien Orgasm - sweet & tropical - one was all we could handle (Amareto, melon liquor, peach schnapps, OJ & pineapple juice).  The friendly & engaging bartenders Kelsey & Danny were unfamiliar with Alien Orgasm's, but were intrigued.  Our mission was a hit and pretty soon we were shaking hands, giving out our blog address & assuring the patron next to us that we did not plan to drink our way through the entire book, just one per letter and no, we didn't counseling, but thanks for caring! 

Next stop, The George for Banging the Captain 3 Ways on the Comforter (spiced rum, Southern Comfort, OJ, pineapple & cranberry juice).  What?? No Southern Comfort at The George?  They ran out!  We had to pass, but will give them another try just because the bartender Chris was really disappointed he wasn't able to accommodate the Banging.  Guess it happens to the best of them.

So, where to go?  We ended up @ Mixto, right across from the River & information stand.  Sitting outside we watched downtown Wilmington go by ~ a man on a unicycle, a couple of vintage cars, and guess who came in - Kelsey from Deluxe! This drink, wasn't as sweet and came in a nice BIG glass! It was goooood.  Try it with a sandwich - you'll like it.

Next month - we'll go out for a Crazy Broad & a Duck Fart.

Remember: Please drink in moderation

Alien Orgasm

2012 - The Not So Merry Widows working their way through the Bartenders Black Book from A-Z

Jane & Ann, 62 & 75 respectively, recently widowed, are looking to work through their grief together by embarking on a light hearted adventure to which our husbands would surely say - live, laugh & enjoy! Our goal - laughter.  And so, beginning this month, we set out to challenge local bartenders @ various establishments in our community - Wilmington, NC.  We'll order drinks from the Bartenders Black Book A-Z.  The only criteria for selecting the drink (always in alphabetical order) is that the names have to make us laugh.  We'll rate the bartender's knowledge & expertise, their likeability factor, the establishment's ambiance & of course, the drink itself.  Perhaps along with the laughter we may meet some cool, colorful and interesting people and we'll share our views and adventure.  We'll get an appetizer too, just so we don't get snockered!

So, we head to Historic downtown on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 8th.  First stop, the Deluxe Cafe to order the first selection ~ an Alien Orgasm. Once satisfied, we'll mosey on over to The George for Banging the Captain 3 ways on the Comforter.  Cheers!
