We actually made it to an actual bar!  Bravo for us.  We went to [tag]East Atlanta’s Graveyard Tavern[/tag] for a very good “cause” on Saturday evening.  There, the Pinups for Pitbulls were doing a fundraiser for Atlanta Bully Rescue – a local fabulous non-profit dedicated to helping the pit bulls and bully breeds around our city.

If you know one thing about me and Alison – it should be known that we rescue pit bull mixes – because there are so many that have been abandoned and neglected in Atlanta.  Makes me sick.  Anyway, I will not get on that kick right now except to say that we went to the Graveyard for a fundraiser for bully breeds- and we had a great time!

We plopped down at the bar looking hot as ever and met Tara, the bar manager.  She told us she had just the drink for us to taste- one she made up called the Skittle.  Are you ready?  Consisting of blueberry, cherry,vanilla, raspberry, citrus, orange, blackberry, strawberry, apple, and grape VODKAS... it also has a splash of sprite, cranberry juice and a top off (although not much room left in the pint size glass) of grenadine.  Notice the proud look in Tara’s eyes as she shows off her concoction.

Don’t forget our ratings scale is between 1 and 5 Olives.  One Olive = waste of my blogging time;  5 Olives = oh my goodness/yummmmmm

Presentation: 2 olives – It was indeed a very large vodka drink and it was the color of a red skittle – but not much going for the presentation factor.

Creativity:  3 olives – Tara made this up for a vodka drinker who likes a serious stiff and pretty sweet drink (aka [tag]Michael Benoit[/tag])  She decided to put a crap ton of fruity vodkas together and see what she could come up with.   One drink and you are almost drunk.

Taste:  3.5 olives – Well, first, it indeed tastes like a Skittle – a cherry one at that.  It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but Alison did not think so.  She enjoyed the whole damn thing!

Overall: 3 – A great bar drink for sweet vodka lovers – and poured by Tara is even better!

Alison had another drink that consisted of rum and ginger beer.  I am not writing on it because I am too lazy, but here is hot Alison holding the bottle of the rum that came in it in this great photo!

We will be back to the Graveyard Tavern.  We loved the ambiance and the food was excellent.  If you do not like smoke, get there early.  If you don’t smoke and stay out late, take a shower when you get home!  I think we stayed out until almost midnight!
