Slacker Lacquer -- Freeman's

[beans]

This article made me giggle, but just a wee bit quietly. Sort of a knowing smirk. Which is why I'm posting it. Aside from the amusing, fun pokes, here's some of the "meat" of the column:

They [those who were formerly slackers] have their own drinks scene, too. They like classic cocktails like martinis, but also undervalued classics like the Aqueduct, a 19th-century cocktail, and more obscure recent inventions like the Cat's Eye, which Freeman's serves.

The full William Hamilton's NYTimes column can be viewed here. He is good at observing and noting the surrounding crowds in his columns. Yum a caper berry would be lovely.

The cocktail recipe provided in this biweekly edition:

The Cat's Eye

1 1/2 ounces Pisco

1 ounce of both orange juice and passion fruit puree

an orange twist

Combine in an ice filled cocktail shaker; shake, chill and strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with orange twist.

Cheers!

edit: There's some dust bunnies under my b, n and m keys darn it!!!

Thanks for an interesting article, Beans. But I have to say... after reading the article, I am totally unconvinced that there is a "slacker cocktail culture."
