For those of you who may not know, Gomez wrote a cocktail book inspired by Wu-tang called Wu-tails.
Another thing about Gomez, is it’s been a dream of his to be on Bartender at Large for almost 10 years now. Welp, he finally made it!!
The book is for sale here at Good Grief and at Goodgriefbar.com

He’s a little weird, but Gomez loves a Chartreuse Swizzle!!
On this one he’s subbing out Boomsma Cloosterbitter for Green Chartreuse and Giffard Falernum for Velvet Falernum. He’s also adding orange bitters, because he wants to!

I’m bad at remembering to take a pic before we eat.
We demolished some buffalo, spicy buffalo and Caesar salad. Maybe some mind erasers too, but… I don’t remember.
Thank you VINDICKTIVE BAR & WINGS
