The husband and I were on our way home from a sad visit with his elderly uncle the other day when he surprised me with the offer to stop at one of my favorite watering holes.
.
.
I say it was a surprise because while I love The Blind Pig and their creative pours, hubby isn’t a fan of their food and never wants to visit.
.
.
Empty.. since it was the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week, I dove right in.
.
.
First up? A blackberry vanilla martini.
.
.
The speed at which it disappeared literally raised my husband’s eyebrows.
.
.
And while we weren’t there for a meal we did order a few nibbles. Barbecue wings for the husband, which he enjoyed despite his misgivings about the kitchen.
.
.
And a massive plate of what turned out to be fabulously fresh and juicy chicken fingers for moi. I could only get halfway through the plate but they were so good they even made my other half agree he may have to reverse his ban on eating here.
Oh, cocktail #2?
A crisp and delightful pear mojito.
.
.
Corn star.
Lawyers, guns and money.
Even the drink list will make you smile.
.
.
While I could have happily sat there and drank all day, my final libation was a strawberry rhubarb margarita. Tasty, but honestly a bit too sweet for me.
.
.
Pardon their typo at the end. With the quality of cocktails, I’m surprised the typist made it that far without errors.

If you’re ever in Gardiner, Maine drop by.
You won’t be disappointed.
