As I mentioned in my previous column, the quest for the perfect cocktail is like searching through a Pete’s Candy store. Achieving the balance between what your palate craves and what your night requires can be tricky, but it’s always rewarding. With careful guidance from your bartender (ALTYB=Always Trust Your Bartender), you will find the right cocktail for you. That’s how my night unfolded in Skytown under Shantel Grant’s guidance. The list was small – pretty much classic cocktails – so I picked one of those to start. For my next ones, however, Shantel opened up her notebook and made me an East Side.
