My son, daughter in-law, and my gorgeous granddaughter, Elizabeth were here last week all the way from Bonnie Lakes, WA.  One of Elizabeth's favorite things to do is to visit the Mystic Aquarium.  While there we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant that has very good burgers, as well as seafood.  

They also specialize in some creative "Libations".  I am not much of a drinker, in fact my favorite lunch drink is a tall glass of ice water.  However, when I saw this menu at the Engine Room my mind automatically caused me to thing of two well know ActiveRain members Brian England and Wayne Martin who do seen to enjoy an "Libation" or two.  So I thought I would post the Engine Rooms list of "Libations" for them in case they ever make it to CT.

Your libations look like fun!  I am not much of a mixed drink person either (prefer a glass of wine), but I would try one or two of your menu.

Make mine a "Plummet", George Souto, but only one. I foresee the potential for trouble if one was to "Plummet" too much.

Hi George,

Wow!  That is some list.  The first one has "drinking vinegar." What the heck does that taste like?  I actually might try something like that. ...Just because!

HI George- what an interesting adult libation menu!!! Far cry from the Havey Wallbangers or other concoctions of my day. I rarely drink (anymore) but do love champagne or a martini on occasion.

Ice water and ice tea at lunch, but at cocktail hour I can see somme possibilities. Basically a scotch guy, but exceptions can be made. Never, ever, let me make that plain (as Joey would say) to keep it simple, Gin!

That sounds like an interesting choice of beverages. I'd stick with wine! The Dad Joke made me think of Ray Henson !

That sounds like such a fun time you had with your family!  Truth be told my favorite drink at a restaurant is also a tall glass of water, haha.  If I were dining with Wayne Martin though, I am sure that we would also order adult libations to enjoy!

See the comment below yours. At lunch ice water first and ice tea second. Gotta be awake for cocktail hour!

Good morning George. Thank you for the sneak peek at the Engine Room specialty cocktails. As for my first two choices at lunch, ice water would be first and ice tea second. That said, at cocktail hour, I bet Brian England and myself could find one we liked. Enjoy the family time!

George Souto - the enjoyment of it all was because of family! May you have more family gatherings in great places or just at home. I am happy for you!

Good morning, George... how cute is this! I'm not a drinker either, but I do enjoy reading about what goes into interesting cocktails. I was hoping you'd be posting a picture of Miss Elizabeth.

They all look delicious and, as Kat Palmiotti suggested, I would try the "Dad Joke."  Generally, I enjoy ice tea for lunch.  Dinner is another story.  Tequila and tonic with a squeeze of lemon, please and thank you.

Hi George,
That is an interesting libation menu. I love it when experiences in life make me think of AR friends!  That says a lot about this community.  Cheers!

Now that I have retired, I can have an occasional beer at lunchtime. That is something I never did when I was working.

Mine too is a tall glass of ice water George, but this looks like the perfect menu for Wayne and Brian...oh but then again I just read what they wrote...maybe they've been tricking us all along!

Happy to hear you had a great visit with your family and  granddaughter!  I'm not sure what drink I'd choose at that restaurant but assume you had something you enjoyed! Mostly, it's the precious time with family that matters!
