You can never quite make the same
fancy, frou-frou drinks at home as
you get in a swanky,
way-too-hip cocktail bar. The mixers you buy at
the grocery store always taste too syrupy sweet, too artificially
fruity, frustratingly not quite right. You figure it's your fault
because you have two hams instead of fists, or because you're not
dressed up properly, or there are too few candles and just not enough
atmosphere and there's just nothing you can do, short of demolishing
your house, redecorating, and
revamping your entire wardrobe.
Midnight Bar Mixes,
though--they're made with real fruit juices and
natural ingredients,
and they've been developed by a "nightlife impresario." How can you go
wrong with a collection of mixers made by an impresario? I think you'd
be hard-pressed to. They look tasty, almost fool-proof, and I am a
sucker for their pretty packaging. My living room may be a cocktail
bar, yet. And my sign is "No Parking."
