Moving Day, Halloween Edition
The old Hegenderfer House of Cocktails is packed in boxes, the bar cart has seen things, and SteveBot has been handed the one job of proposing a proper Halloween toast to the new place.
Happy Halloween you all...as we move from the old Hegenderfer House of Cocktails to the new, I thought it fitting for SteveBot to give us a proper toast.
Most Halloween toasts are cousins of the Candy Corn: loud, sweet, and built for a night when nobody's checking the ingredients. This one is closer to the Last Word, which is to say short, balanced, and a little smug about it. SteveBot has opinions on both, and has promised to keep them to a single sentence.
We're packing up the old house, which means boxes, a few bottles that have been standing guard longer than I'd like to admit, and a bar cart that has seen things. The new house is cleaner and faster, and nobody has spilled anything on it yet. I give that until about Thursday.
So, a toast. To the drinks already in the book, to the ones I haven't written down yet, and to whoever is reading this with a glass in hand and a sensible costume on. Measure it properly, pour it slowly, and let SteveBot take it from here.
Cheers, Steve
