Scotch. Whiskey. Bourbon.
These are things I don't typically like to drink. During some odd phase in his life, Joe has become a huge fan of these old man drinks. And has a bottle collection of a champ.
Last year for his 30th birthday we went into Philly for a day of fun. I had a gift certificate for any Garces restaurant of my choosing, and we decided upon Village Whiskey. A little bar on the corner of 20th & Sansom St. We settled in and had some drinks. This was the beginning of our obsession with this bar.
I wouldn't say so much the bar. But we have always had the pleasure of going to see Steve. He is a master bartender. A mixologist if you will. Most people think these folk are annoyingly called that. But they just wouldn't get it until you see the work they do.
Raw egg whites?
I'm sure if you were to head out to your local bar and say..
"Good day bar keep! May I have a delicious whiskey sour please?"
You would see that Mrs. T sour mix pop into sight, along with some whiskey, mix it up in a glass, and off you go.
Not here.
It's a 5 minute process.
But in the end..
Yes Please..
No sour mix here. Just some egg, whiskey, fresh juice, homemade simple syrup, bitters of sorts, and a couple of very strategically placed fruits.
It's always a good time when we go. Food and fun is something that never lets us down.
Hot AND Tasty.
Sadly. Steven is moving on to bigger and better bars. And this was the last time we will get to see him at Village Whiskey. But If you ever get a chance stop by. It's worth it.
