i ordered the seafood platter which is not something i often do but it def hit the spot. i also ordered a cocktail which omg did not hit the spot unless that spot is my gag reflex. the cocktail menu looked pretty hacky but i thought i should give them a chance.

so i came home and attempted my version of the billionaire cocktail we had at adesso the other day.

2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz lemon
1/2 oz grenadine (equal parts sadaf pomegrante paste and ikea lingonberry syrup)
3 drops angostura bitters
1/4 tsp or long drizzle of sambuca or 4 drops peychaud bitters

pretty delicious but maybe too tart. the sadaf paste is like diesel strength sour-sweet, so i reduced the usual proportion of lemon. but maybe not enough. or maybe my grenadine should be 2:1 berry:pom.

edit: i forgot i had peychaud bitters! i should have used them.
