More Than a Tincture of Taste
Most of us here at Gapers Block love a quality cocktail. Who wouldn't, right? The first sip that makes your entire body relax, that coats your palate in promising hues of sweet and bitter, that signals that things will only get better. Thankfully, GQ Magazine does, too. They've rated the top 25 cocktail bars and we're delighted that The Violet Hour comes in third. Having had a very tasty cocktail at Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle, I have to say I believe they get their first place slot because of the bartender, not the bar. But not to be out-done, we're also happy to share that The Whistler was graced with 20th on their list. They suggest the "Blue Color Cocktail," but I suggest you give the "Beretta" a sip. I promise that two of these will turn your frown upside down.
