What You Should Order At...Blueprint (Cocktail Edition!)

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses.  We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each.  Are we right?  Are we wrong?  YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.  

The cocktail bars keep popping up in the Slope but by far my personal favorite is still always Blueprint. Consistently excellent libations, delicious snacks, and an incredible staff complete with hot Aussie bartender (Hi Andy!).

I’ve have ashamedly tried 80% of the cocktails on the Blueprint menu, so I thought I’d share a couple favorite selections with you that are sure to please even the most discerning of palates.

#1 Choice: Dark and Stormy (Dark Rum, House-Made Ginger Beer, and Lime)...yes I know they make these almost everywhere but seriously, Blueprint makes the best one I’ve ever had.

#2 Choice: Cecily Parsley (Gin, Pimm’s No. 1, Parsley, Lemon, Cucumber, and Simple Syrup)...this is just the perfect summer drink. Light, tart, and refreshing with a good amount of booze.

#3 Choice FOR THE BOLD: Smoky Mary (Chipotle Tequila, Lime, Agave, with an Alderwood Smoked Salt Rim)...Now first off, let me clarify and say I HATE this drink. Personally I don’t like spicy cocktails (minus bloodys) and tequila makes me remove my clothing. BUT...if you are ok with spice and are fine with getting naked at a Park Slope bar, you should give it a try, for people who like a kicky drink...this one is doing everything right.
