"Portland, Oregon and a sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is."
~Loretta Lynn (and Jack White)
Can you tell I have a huge-ass deadline hanging, anvil-like, over my head? Just call me Damocles.
(I've only had one sloe gin fizz in my life... I remember it as being fairly tasty. The fizz was the best part, really. Had it at the Chart House in San Francisco when I was 20. One of only two times I drank in a bar before the magic two-one. And, oddly enough, the other was in Portland at some crazy place with an awe-freakin'-some happy hour appetizer menu. Salmon burger for five bucks... hell yeah.)
OK, I couldn't let a good, honest cocktail reference go without a comment....Huzzah for Molly! Huzzah for the Sloe Gin Fizz! (Which one notes is most definitely NOT a Fizztini, a Sloetini, or any such a travesty. Just a good, honest cocktail in it's own right.)
Plus Portland is one of the Coolest. Cities. Ever.
