It has taken us almost a month to summarize our 52 Weeks of Drinks.  Put it this way, as much as we enjoyed our adventures, we probably gained 5 pounds each and we were both ready for it to end.

We tasted (drank) over 100 different cocktails and went to over 50 different restaurants / bars.  We had some pretty crappy cocktails and some really fabulous cocktails.  Our absolute favorite cocktails came from- and yes, it is a tie – Abattoir and Holeman & Finch.  The precision of which these cocktails were made – and the fresh ingredients that were used (homemade and all) seriously put them over the top.

Runner’s up include Top Flr and Sound Table where Nate and Paul did us right.  I still have a bit of a crush on Nate – Precious! (and no, that is not Nate above although he was cute too.)

Our favorite Master of Mixology was Callie from Shaun’s (now closed!).  We have learned since that Callie worked with a number of our favorite places on their drinks menus and worked with a number of the other craft bartenders.  We think she rocks – and we are sure she will be a great nurse!  Too bad she is leaving the mixing world.

Our next post will be a quiz for our fabulous readers.  We are asking questions that will all come from our year long adventure from 52 Weeks of Drinks.  Whoever gets the most right – meaning – whoever really paid attention to 52 Weeks – wins a Brookstone Digital Cocktail Guide! 

Again, we tasted some seriously wonderful drinks – and could rave about many of you…Thanks so much for making Atlanta such an amazing cocktail haven!
