Paulson Kalu Afrikhanah & His Stars 25 - “Ochea Special”
An excerpt from The Careful Bartender:
The careful bartender takes his time. He prepares with respect to the drink and not to the lineup. Take for instance, the preparation of a Bachelor's Last Stand. It is 1 finger coconut milk, a mouthful of finest brown rum, a third phase of a lime (match the moon for the night of serving), a flicking of water, and a cactus blossom. It should take three minutes to prepare, to allow all parts to sit and reach the proper temperature. The glass should sweat like a woman in love when served. Never stir this drink, place the parts together like laying down children to sleep. The careful bartender will reap his rewards, for the night will sing his praises in the water on the beach, in the feet in the sand, in the fire in the torches.
