Welcome back to another installment of boozings, where we try all of Philly’s Top 15 Drinks! Next up we go to Cantina Los Caballitos, for the Bloody Mary. Vodka, check. Tomato juice, check. Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, and whatever else, check. Lime and lemon, celery and olive, check!
F it this drink is good. And big. And spicy. And cheap. Served in a big ass pint glass, this thing has kick, of the boozy and spicy variety. It just goes on forever, too. How can this only cost $5? It’s definitely the cheapest drink on the list, and nearly the biggest. I’m not feeling too much love for the food here, but their bloody marys are alone worth the trip.
Ok, 10 down, only 5 more to go!

Welcome back to another installment of boozings, where we try all of Philly’s Top 15 Drinks! Next up we go to Zahav, for the Lemonnana. This jim beam spiked lemonade is shaken and poured over ice in a tall glass, with muddled mint and lemon verbena. Well at least it’s supposed to be. In my case, it was muddled first, and then the ingredients were dumped into a giant pitcher, so there was very little shaking and the only pouring was done by us into many little glasses.

What’s a lemonnana? It’s basically a mojito, but with jim beam and lemons instead of rum and limes. It’s tasty. It’s refreshing. And it didn’t taste very strong. I’m not sure if we had ordered individual lemonnanas they would have been individually stronger. But the pitcher wasn’t that strong at all. And this surprised me, because all of the drinks on this top 15 list have been super strong, so far. If you’re going to drink a lot of this or have enough people to share, it’s definitely a good value to get the pitcher. The bartender who mixed our drinks is super talented. And we smelled many tasty dishes while having drinks. I wanted to eat at Zahav before, but now that I’ve been in it and smelled everything, I can’t wait much longer!

Ok, 9 down, only 6 more to go!

I was in Seattle for work and for the first night, we had to run around, literally, to do work/team stuff. It was fun and all, and then they fed us as we bowled, but seriously, the food at Lucky Strikes (crappy chicken nuggets and pizza) was pretty damn bad. I mean significantly terrible that I actually chose to go hungry. And that rarely happens!

Which is why after all that was over, I had to go get real food. I fell in love with Liberty during my first visit to Seattle, so I went back there again, and I actually got up the nerve to get food! It is slightly unnerving to go to a hipster bar for cocktails and order sushi. But it had to be done, because I was starving! What did I order? I can’t remember. A couple of rolls, one of which may have been a red roll, and the other which had raw carrot in it. Also, some random dish with seared and sliced tuna on top of seaweed salad. It was supposed to be a bed of veggies, but it ended up being a bed of seaweed salad. But it was delicious nonetheless. And I had an amazing limeade. I still love this place. It’s just so laid back and comfortable. Please Liberty, open a Philly satellite location!
