Made with Skyy Vodka, this drink is a good addition to my list of key lime pie martinis in the area. The lime flavor was sweet and mellow, though I wouldn't have minded some more tartness. It was frothed up with milk, poured in a martini glass that was rimmed with delicious graham cracker crumbs, and then dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon. Though it wouldn't have been as pretty, I'd have liked the spices shaken up with the drink rather than sprinkled on top, so they didn't clump at the bottom, as is so often the case when spices are used in cocktail. Otherwise, though, delish!

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
