Your A-List: Strongest Drinks
A cold beer can be nice on a hot day, but it’s so filling. Sometimes you just need a nice stiff cocktail to jump start your happy hour, or nose dive your night. Located in the middle of an ever-growing downtown, the Cedar Door, with 20 percent of the vote, takes home the prize as purveyors of the strongest drink in this week’s Your A-List poll.
The signature cocktail of choice for downtown workers, and lovers of the bar who have followed its move from West 15th Street (1975-1984) to East Cesar Chavez (1984-1989) to its riverside location (1990-2001) and eventually to its current Brazos Street location, is the Mexican martini. The drink is delicious, and packs the punch of a few beers, but is strong enough that the bar limits patrons to only two per customer. Head over to the giant patio, or the beer garden behind the bar, and you will more than likely find tables littered with shakers and martini glasses, as well as an affable regular crowd.
