If I could be drinking anywhere other than home, I would be…
“In Bandol, France, by the bay. I’d ask the bartender for two spritzes: One would be half Campari, half Aperol and the other made with Cocchi Rosa, with a big fruit garnish.” —Cecelia Jones, general manager at Uncle in Speer
“In a hammock in the Caribbean. My order: a rum old fashioned made with orange and mole bitters, a large ice cube, and a kiss of orange oil.” —Nicole Lebedevitch, beverage director at Forget Me Not in Cherry Creek
That's only $1 per issue!
“At Twin Peaks park in San Francisco at night, where I’d watch the lights in the city with a case each—can I say that?—of Russian River Brewing Company’s Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig.” —Jonathan Taylor, head brewer at Trinity Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs
“At the Haleakalā volcano on Maui, sipping a Don Q Cristal rum daiquiri made in the Cuban cantinero tradition [aka blended], under a blanket, watching the sun rise.” —Emillio Ortiz, president, the Colorado Springs Bartenders’ Guild, and bar manager, 503 West Open Kitchen & Craft Bar
