Night Out with the Spring Street Social Society

A few weeks ago I was invited to join the Spring Street Social Society for one of their latest dinners in partnership with Stella Artois.  

Mother of Pearl + Zacapa Rum = Happiness

A few weeks back I spent a breezy Sunday afternoon at Mother of Pearl in the East Village enjoying amazing Zacapa cocktails and the company of friends.  The sun was coming through the curtains, the drinks were perfectly cold and tropical, and everything was just about as perfect as a New York afternoon could be. 

But, you see, this was a private party and to my dismay, these drinks are not available on the Mother of Pearl menu.  Which meant, I might never taste their sweet ambrosia ever again....

But then, the recipes arrived in my in-box!  Hallelujah! 

I'm not usually a one to do a recipe dump here at Gastronomista, but let's be honest, I'm doing this for my own selfish reasons (information hoarding).  And, I guess (eye roll) you, dear readers, should know make these cocktails at home so you can understand the full talents of Head Bartender Jane Danger. 

So here you have it, 3 Perfect Rummy Drinks from Mother of Pearl:
