Last night, we had an opportunity for a free sitter! Pre-movie, we dropped into Trader Vic’s in Bellevue for small nosh and a cocktail for me. I’m a creature of habit when it comes to cocktails, so try to venture a bit when presented with new and exciting options. After reviewing the extensive, tiki-inspired list, I settled on a “Suffering Bastard”.
Suffering Bastard
A forthright blend of rums, lime and liqueurs with an affinity for cucumber….formula from the Sheppard’s Hotel in Cairo
The drink was rather dull and very forgettable. The only thing I remember a mere 19 hours later is I don’t want to order it again. Perhaps the most disappointing was my desire for a flavor of cucumber. Cucumber has a nice, crisp flavor that brightens up many cocktails I’ve tried. (One of our favorite local restaurants does a cucumber martini in the summertime that is to die for) As described, I would have thought this would be within the liquid drink. No, it was a slender, cucumber spear in so much ice it froze.
Next time at Trader Vic's, I'll go for the standard Mai Tai.
