Greetings cherished readers!
Due a a rash of sickness, Last night I was called in to the lone service at Thatch and rescue the place last night. Yep, That’s right – I finally got my rum slingers behind the bar and ran the place last night. We were slow, so the silver lining was that I had some breathing room to stop freaking out and show some confidence. It was exciting and terrifying. No major mistakes, and all my drinks were good (and some great – that Singapore Sling rocked). All that home practice paid off, I suppose. That and all the outstanding support and instruction from Zorn. He’s a gentleman’s gentleman.
To celebrate (when I got home) I poured myself a concoction I’ll call:
Fancy Rhum (*please* don’t call it a Maitini.)
1 oz Appleton Extra
1 oz Martinique
½ oz Cointreau
¼ oz Green Chartreuse
dash orange bitters (Regan’s)Shake with crushed ice and strain into 4oz cocktail glass. Drink it while it is still laughing at you.
So with that behind me, I can now proclaim myself officially a (greenhorn, resident, newbie) professional bartender.
I don’t really need to sleep, right?
Cheers,

Sleep is overrated! Drinking is the answer!
That Faux Navy Grog (Coast Guard Grog?) was delicious, I commend you.
Congratulations! Even a slow Tuesday night is still a ‘real’ night. Now you’ve got proof for the mgmt there that you can handle it.
The drink sounds good – I like the sound of anything with Chartreuse.
Wow, that drink sounds fantastic.

Congrats on your first solo flight!
congrats!
Congrats! Welcome to the party. By the way, you do know that bartenders don’t sleep don’t you – we nap in the afternoons.
For those of us with day jobs, I always suggest conference calls as a great way to sneak in a midday nap.
Congratulations! I almost came in last night, perhaps tonight would be good for me.
Well done, Cute! I never had a doubt!
