That was a very interesting series. Prohibition era spirits and classic bartending are a relatively niche subject compared to the breadth of cuisine in most food manga, kind of nice to see that degree of specificity. Bummer it ran so short, but it hit a lot of highlights. I am kind of glad we didn’t have to go too much longer on the gangster storylines, they were okay but I think they wore thin compared to the booze stuff.
I’m surprised it wrapped up with Tequila Sunrises, which make me think of Applebees or 20 somethings ordering as many rail drinks as they can keep down. I haven’t had one in a long time but I’m sure I’d love one made by a good bartender; I do like Palomas. I suppose Takakuchi-sensei has a pure love of cocktails in many forms.
Makes me want to re-read Bartender.
