I'll just come out and say it: Going to Tantisimo made me exponentially cooler.
I went on Sunday, and by Monday I overheard my coworkers talking by the water cooler, saying that over the weekend I seem to have developed a "chill, funky, vibe." (?) I guess there's something in the water (liquor) at Tantisimo that fundamentally alters a person for the swankier. Be it the terracotta toned accents or the waitstaff that all look like they could be in a band, there is a palpable grooviness to the joint.
To sip, I chose the Margaret (bartender's recommendation for the closest thing to a Margarita). It was the perfect summer cocktail in my book - lime-y, fresh, with salt on the rim. I would like one everyday, thank you.
My compadre was "tickled" (his words) by the Pisco Sour. I sipped it, daintily, and thought it was, ¿cómo se dice? "yum!" That is, if you enjoy drinking egg... which I only tend to do when it's conditioning season for my boxing match with Appollo Creed.
We were too curious to pass up ordering the Bebida Rosita, as it included "bubblegum shrub" which was aptly described to us as tasting reminiscent of Hubba Bubba. It reminded me of kombucha, like maybe if you put a piece of ABC gum in a kombucha bottle and left it there for a little while. Suffice to say, weirdly good.
The drinks were top notch, and I'd love to return for a bite.
