Challenge: Where
to get a taste of Christmas in February
Going
to 6th street during Mardi Gras is not the best of ideas and going
there when you’re old enough to know better is even an even worse one. That
said, FOMO took over and I decided to join the merry band of misfits down
“Dirty 6th.” We went to the Blind Pig where I made the mistake of
saying I had never had a Rumplesmintz shot (a giant portion of Rumple Minze
German-style peppermint schnapps). Having one of those made me quickly realize
I was in for the long haul and I’d better put my seat belt on. We traipsed
across the street to the Alamo Ritz where we (thought) we engaged with witty
banter with the waitstaff. They said they made certain drinks based on movie
themes but did not seem to appreciate it when I suggested they make a whiskey
shot served in a bullet casing mold for the John Wick 2 movie. (if this ever
comes to fruition, I request/demand a portion of the proceeds!). We settled on
a pretty decent White Russian drink. The next few stops became a bit more forgetful
with us ultimately ending up in a beer pong game at Thirsty Nickel and the epic
journey to find the best Chicken
Tortilla soup.

Verdict: Just ask for a RumpleMintz shot at any bar. It’s basically doing a shot of
mouthwash for ~$6 but at 50% alcohol, you get your money's worth.
