Mardi Gras Drinks

Mardi gras lunacy decried

Mr Seville said as well as an army of St John volunteers going in to man a huge tent set up like a casualty department, Wanganui advanced paramedics would also be there. "We need to have specialist staff there, because you don't know how many kids are going to have seizures, severe hypothermia, or pass out and choke on their vomit ... it's very sad really." The carport at the rear of the Ohakune Police Station this year would be transformed into a detox area where partygoers drinking to excess would be isolated and monitored, Mr Craig said. "It is a way of removing the chance of escalating problems and frees up police staff to focus on other issues." Police hoped the area would act as a deterrent to excessive drinking. "The choice between a fun, sociable evening with friends or time out in a converted carport on a freezing winter's night should be a no-brainer." "Some of the partygoers last year, particularly young women, were highly vulnerable, placing themselves in dangerous situations through extreme intoxication. We want people to have fun, but we also want them to stay safe, to remember the event for good reasons and arrive back home in one piece. A bit of simple planning is all that is needed." Mr Craig said.

Mardi Gras Drinks at Universal Orlando « The Winesleuth

. Since you don’t have to pay to get into City Walk it’s very popular with the locals as a fun night out, as we discovered when we tried to get something to eat on Saturday night.

90 minute wait  for a table at 10pm? Where were we? Argentina? We finally opted for Bubba Gump’s as the wait there was only 30 minutes. Bubba Gump’s as you might imagine, is a spin off from the Forrest Gump movie and serves lots of shrimp dishes as well as some mighty smooth margaritas. At this point I was so tired and jet lagged that anything would have been good but that margarita most certainly hit the spot. A proper American sized drink, it came with it’s own full sized shaker so we could serve ourselves. I like my margaritas on the sweet side to play up against the salt on the rim and they have to be on the rocks, no brain freeze for me, please. One thing I love about American bars, they free pour, meaning, they don’t use measures, just pour until they think there’s enough alcohol in there to make you happy (and tip more), the drinks are loaded. Our margaritas were strong but not strong enough to knock us out. And the best part, cost less then 10 bucks (£6) and we had ordered the top shelf margaritas , no generic tequila for us.

The next night we went to the legendary Pat O’Brien’s . An Irish pub from New Orleans, they have a branch in Orlando and they’re famous for their Hurricanes , which didn’t disappoint.  A rum concoction, it was juicy and tropical fruity, it reminded me of Hawaiian punch, and at first I thought it didn’t have any alcohol in it but it was so expertly made that the power of it kind of snuck up on you, like a hurricane does, I suppose! There was no warning here, just bam! I’m glad I didn’t complain about the lack of alcohol. As an added bonus, we got to take home the unique Hurricane glass it comes in and again, all for 10 bucks! I love America

Seeing as we were getting such good deals, we had to order a Maker’s Mark Manhattan , on the rocks, natch. That is one thing I do miss here, a proper Manhattan on the rocks. I find it really hard to find a good one in London and when you do it is outrageously expensive.
