Drinks »Best of 2010 Drinks Round Up
Great Bevvies
Talk about going out with a bang. One of my last alcoholic drinks before ten months of pregnant sobriety was the best (I looked forward to having it again all ten months but have yet to). The rest of the year found me taking in my fair share of decaf lattes and iced coffees – fortunately I live in one of the best neighborhoods for coffee. Rounding out the short list is low brow strip mall sweetness and high brow Upper East Side daintiness.
1. Nama Sake
2. Blue Bottle
3. Coke Slurpee
4. Five Leaves
5. Cafe Grumpy
6. High Tea at Kings Carriage House

2. Opium
3. Cannibal Holocaust Soundtrack
4. Stretchin’ Out In Bootsy’s Rubber Band
