Point taken and “wrath” turned toward editors that didn’t realize the importance of such information. After I sent my article (besides worrying it sounded too harsh), I regretted not mentioning Green St., Highland, and Deep Ellum.

But overall I think I just underestimated the difficulty of moving a large group around to a decent cocktail establishment in the search of a particular gender to fill the need of a specific story line…

Point taken, Arnold. However, what you don’t know because our editors cut part of the story to make word count is that we had several more venues on the list. We called once we realized our plans at ES were foiled: Emily was not behind the stick at Green Street, Claudia wasn’t working at Highland Kitchen, Cedric was on the bar at Silvertone, and Rialto had already given last call. We thus learned that finding the ladies who tend great Boston bars behind the bar on an off night can be something of a challenge.

Great recipes and bars…but I have to say not really interesting or adventurous. You basically visited your favorite bars hoping that the female bartenders were working that night.

Instead of staying at Eastern Standard when you realized it had no connection with the point of your article, why not move on and try/advertise/promote a place you often don’t mention in your blog/articles?

Silvertone sometimes has female bartenders.

If that doesn’t float your boat, I’ve had several very good drinks (much better than Marliave, for instance) at Noir in Harvard Sq.–mixed by a female bartender. There is also a female bartender upstairs at Rialto.

Why not keep traveling instead of just checking the box at your expressed, known, and much referenced cocktail hunting grounds?

The Alaska is a house fav – Could anyone weigh in on what are Bitterman’s Orange #9 bitters are like? If I wanted to play along from home what other bitters would folks recommend?

A tip that got from Hanky Panky years ago was to try an Alaska with Grapefruit bitters for a nice variation.

Mmmmm Chartreuse….
