On Wednesday last week, Andrea and I headed over to Trina's Starlite Lounge for dinner. For a drink, I asked bartender Emma Hollander for the O.G. While Emma did confirm that the name stood for "original gangster," she surmised that the drink's inspiration occurred in Vegas. As almost an abstraction of a Mai Tai, the drink seemed worth a go. On the nose, the O.G. put forth a grassy and citrus aroma. Next, the lime and orange sip led into the cachaça balanced by the orgeat on the swallow.
