After a day of wine drinking at Saude Creek Winery, I was in
the mood for a cocktail! It was Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby was
running, so to not cocktail would be some kind of sin.
The Continental (5704 Grove Ave) was not as crowded as I thought it would
be. Typically, there is a line of preppy-dressed patrons down the sidewalk for this place. There was a handful of guys in pink shirts and some teenage girls who brought their own Starbucks and cupcakes, but I imagine most of the neighborhood crowd were waiting in lines to have tacos and guacamole.
But lucky for us, we got a spot on the patio and immediately went for the cocktail
list. They had the absolute perfect cocktail for the occasion.
It came with a salted rim in a mason jar. The perfect mix of
a margarita style drink served in Southern glassware. It was like it was fate
or something. Oh, and it was delicious, too, not too sweet with a little kick
on the finish. Kind of like my day on Saturday.
