…and I wonder what would have happened if you changed your order to a white rum sour…?

Ouch. That’s a sad story. It’s incongruous that a place that cares enough to serve the little-known Champs-Elysees would be confused about the Daiquiri. I’m not sure I could have taken that with a straight face.

It makes me want to write another Daiquiri story, just to give it a little more PR. (Hmm… and while I’m at it, perhaps the Champs-Elysees, too…)

Good story, thanks for the telling.

I found a great Speakeasy-style bar in Grand Rapids, MI, and after the bartendress successfully fielded my orders of an Americano, a Rob Roy, and a Champs-Elysees, I tried ordering a Daiquiri. I won’t even repeat what she told me, but it was to the effect that if I wanted a girly, blended drink, I could try up the street at TGIFridays. Obviously not an example of great service, but I am mostly saddened that the great classic Daiquiri has been brought so low that it’s denigrated at a place where I’m confident I could order a Last Word and not explain myself.

Anyway, I took my friend home, squeezed a pair of limes, and made some Daiquiris. Cheers from Michigan.
