Cocktails and Pizza

Last night Finn and I took his brother Luke and our good friend Eric, both visiting from out of town, out to dinner in Denver. We had a great time at two places I recommend that you try:

Cocktails and appy's at my favorite bar in town, Colt & Gray. I love they're cozy atmosphere and vintage-style cocktails. All of their ingredients are house made and watching the bartenders at work is entertainment in itself. Their cocktail menu is constantly changing. I had the Whimpering Barback - hibiscus infused gin, lime, almond syrup, ginger beer. Delish. If you are here you MUST try the blue cheese dusted gougeres - they are incredible. The bacon cashew caramel corn was great as well, although beware that the small serving you get with your order won't last long at a table of four.

We then walked down to Proto's pizza, a great brick-oven pizza place that serves up a thin, perfectly crispy crust with fun topping choices. I like the Low Rider, a blend of house made honey tomato chipotle sauce topped with mozzarella, Polidori bacon, fresh pineapple, and cilantro.

Happy New Year!
