For those of you who've been reading this for a while, maybe you will remember that I wrote about Deerhammer Distilling Company before and that I was not particularly impressed (you can read that post here). But I also promised to give them a second chance, it just took a little longer to get around to than I had planned on. I did finally get around to it though. And I am glad to say that this time around I can give them my 'seal of approval'.
Deerhammer Drink Menu
I went in there on a Thursday night, which in the winter in Buena Vista is usually a slow night wherever you go. So, still being a little unsure about the place when I was told they had a drink that wasn't on the menu which was a gin drink (I don't remember the name of it), I opted to give that a try, mostly because in general I prefer gin to whiskey.
I may be letting my 'white-trash' side show a little bit here, but when I drink gin, I usually mix it with Squirt. This drink tasted a little bit like that, but with a little bit of a honey flavor. Not quite as sweet, but it was delicious! And since I've already admitted that I have a 'white trash' side, I may as well admit that I like 'girly drinks' too...
'High Roller'
So, for my second drink I had the 'High Roller' which is whiskey, coconut, pineapple, orange basically it is piña colada-esque. It was very tasty and I can see this becoming a favorite summer standby! After two drinks I was feeling pretty good and had to call it a night. So, I will give you a little heads up, if you ever find yourself at Deerhammer Distilling, the drinks are strong. Later I was talking to a friend and mentioned that I had two drinks, and his comment was that 'you only ever have one drink when you go there, even I know that'. So, yeah, pace yourself!
