Thirsty Thursday #8


This week took me across the river to Russell House Tavern in Harvard Square. The restaurant, which is two floors and an outside seating area, was extremely busy, so they must be doing something right. The locally-sourced menu items were unique and delicious, adding to the "tavern down the street where people like to meet" vibe.

The bartender decided to make two drinks, both with the Bully Boy white rum, to give a taste spectrum for the product - very cool. The first drink was one of their signature cocktails, the "Always Sunny" which has a sweet start and a peppery kick at the end, which is thanks to their homemade ginger beer. The second cocktail was simple, in fact, it was called a simple daiquiri - rum, lemon, sugar - which hit the tongue ever so lightly and finished with that lemon zestfulness. The drinks were both easily made and rich in flavor, especially the "Always Sunny."

If you ever find yourself across the river in Cambridge, Russell House Tavern is definitely a place to check out. That's it for me today. Peace, love and Bully Boy.
