Got myself dragged to a speakeasy-style cocktail bar, and I have no regrets. I can literally taste the depth of the Armagnac in this cocktail, for the first time in my life.
Ordered a martini for a friend, and the waitress listened to every word as I translated her precise recipe for her preferred martini. Expensive, but good god it's worth it.
Served in would-be cut crystal glasses (cut glass). Absolutely brilliant.
