Beer Floats, Alcoholic Shakes and liquor infused tea’s oh my!
I’m always in search for a sneaky way to get really drunk. It kind of reminds me of my Uncle Don at holiday family get togethers. You’d never catch that guy with a drink all night long but come time to serve dinner he’d be curled up underneath the Christmas tree filling the watering pot with urine. It’s a gift, and one that I’d like to share with you. Here are a few surefire ways to get you through some dull and uncomfortable times with a little alcholic support.
The Business Lunch- This guys been trying to pitch to you for the last 2 months and you’re damn near out of excuses. Suggest this Fairfax food stop; The Golden State’s Beer Float offers a mysteriously opaque fusion of Rasputen Stout (12%) and vanilla ice cream ($8). He’ll think you’re a bit odd for ordering a rootbeer float at a business meeting, but you’ll just smile and nod… because you’re drunk. 426 Fairfax. Mid-City. thegoldenstatecafe.com
Sip with your Sponsor- After the AA meeting stroll down the street to BLD’sMilkshake Madness for an after-meeting aperitif. Treat your sponsor to one of Pastry Chef, Mariah Swan’s liquored up milkshakes (offered the last Sunday of every month, $9-15). Before you know it you’ll be back to beating your spouse and destroying lifelong friendships (wow, that joke was in bad taste). 7450 Beverly Blvd. West Hollywood. BLDrestaurant.com
Nana’s Tea- It’s Sunday and you’ve been putting off a visit from grandma for months. Invite her over to SLS for High Tea and crumpets. The Patisserie offers a wide range of liquor infused Tea and a few alcoholic nick knack snacks($8ish). By the time Nana finishes telling you about her hip replacement you’ll be too drunk to care that she’s cleaned her teeth with your $200 Christian Audigier hanky. 465 La Cienega. West Hollywood.
