Whiskey Rosso

After my last final for Fall Quarter I decided that I would stop in Marcella's Ristorante for lunch. I headed into the bar and sat down. The bartender came over and asked me what I'd like to drink. I started with water. After she brought that over I asked her what her favorite drink is.

"The Whiskey Rosso."

I winced. I usually stick to gin or vodka. I might be brave and do something with rum, but not the spiced kind. But whiskey? No we were not friends. She went on, "You can't even really taste the whiskey." She told me that the Jameson usually turns people off to it. Knowing that I usually like it when people take my recommendations I thought I'd go for it and see what it was like.

I was surprised. It had a pleasant fruity taste, but still retained a strong sentiment. Usually cocktails don't go very well with food but this was delicious with their Spaghetti Bolognese.

The next time you happen to stop in, find out what your server's favorite drink is and give it whirl. You might find yourself pleasantly surprised.
