Slow Booze '08

Before the masses hit the "Spirits Pavilion"...
...the Chef readied his samples -- a slow booze "Corpse Reviver" w/ lemon juice, cointreau, Death's Door Gin, Underhill Lounge Swedish Punsch and a touch of Absinthe, and the Vodka Cobbler crowd pleaser also known as "that pink thing".

My favorite spot was the Pickle Pavilion (featuring brined objects from Picklopolis.) Not only do I love pickled anythings, but since I was ticketless volunteer, the nice Pickle people were not checking tickets when giving out samples and I "relished" going through the line a few times. ha! get it? relished!

The fancy food crowds didn't know that the lines were shorter at the farmer's market. I felt spoiled, as we shop local each week just a short stroll away (with plenty of slow booze demos right in our kitchen). No tickets or "slow dough" required.

Thanks for trying our booze! i was working the Death's Door booth with Erik Ellestad, pumping out the Vodka Cobblers while he was serving up his corpse revivers. In honor of Sunday morning, we served a Ramos Gin Fizz and the Corpse Reviver ala New Orleans tradition.
