One night–ONE NIGHT–I spend meeting my lawyer friend’s visiting Argentinian quasi-boyfriend at Please Don’t Tell and not at a classical music concert, and look what cocktail I had to go and order: <\/p>\n

It was delicious. I had two. <\/p>\n

(No, I sit on a throne of lies: I had three.)<\/p>\n

I did some light internet stalking of this “classical musician and mixologist” Lydia Reissmueller, and here’s what I found<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Lydia Reissmueller
was born in Orange, California USA
a great and famous lady mixologist
she likes to put natures gifts into her work life!
working with herbs, spices, and a lot of fresh botanicals
she also loves to plant and growing her own garnishes!
greating bitters, and a vermouth that everybody want to taste!
lydia travels around the world to give the people a diferent angle of
making cocktails! !<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And also this:<\/p>\n

\"Lydia.jpg\"Lydia has won her fair share of competitions, so we won’t fault her for hosting the Shake it! Virgin Cocktail Competition<\/i><\/a>. Her most well-known drink appears to be the “Sweetie Pie”, which consists of aged rum, allspice liqueur, apple juice, and a pinch of sea salt. She’s engaged to Joshua McFadden, an up-and-coming chef who loves lovage<\/a>. <\/p>\n
