We felt like tourists walking through Boat Quay and avoiding eye contact with the menu wielding restaurant pushers trying to bring us to the dark side. Finally we locate number 61 and walk up a precariously under-lit stairway. Wow, a bit dangerous to walk down if you get drunk.
Anyway, it was a Friday and I really needed a drink. We read about the Spiffy Dapper, a new cocktail bar and decided to go check it out. Inside, it's dim and they were playing Jazz music - there's a 20s' Prohibition speakeasy vibe going on - nice!
Dee had the 'Glad Rags Sheba' -"A Sex Bomb Dressed to the Nines'. We infuse Granny Smith Apples into Cane Sugar with a hint of Cinnamon over 8 hours to get the perfect extract, then add a good measure of Bourbon and Fresh Lemon Juice to complete this baby. This little tart is out to impress."
Chris had the 'Dolled Up Horse-Feathers' - You know you are in too deep when you got feathers on thundering horses. A twist on the classic Moscow Mule with hints of Passion Fruit and Feijoa.
I had the 'The Big Cheese' (see description above). All 3 cocktails were nicely done - of the 3 I preferred Dee's 'Glad Rags Sheba'.
3 delicious cocktails sitting in a row.
Next time I'm back, I want to sit at the bar. Time to bring out the flapper dress!
