Tombstone

Tombstone is a "Western Bar" here in Jeonju. This basically means it has beer and liquor instead of beer and soju. It's not a bad spot, the drinks are reasonably priced and strong, they can download any song you want and play it for you, and they have a dart board. We go there fairly regularly and most of the staff know who we are now. After several rounds of free shots and many games of darts with one of the bartenders, Khan, Megan somehow communicated to him that I used to be a bar tender and that I wanted to make a drink. He said okay, grabbed me by the hand and led me behind the bar. All of a sudden I realized that I wasn't sure how well stocked the bar was or what drink to make. My mind raced and I realized that I had to fall back on an old favorite. With the help of Khan and some serious Konglish, I located all the ingredients I needed; Southern Comfort, Peach Schnapps, Jagermeister, Sloe Gin (I am amazed that he knew what I was talking about and more amazed that the bar had it) and orange juice. I mixed them and voila: a Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall with Satin Pillows (thanks Mike McCain for teaching me that one). Khan thought it was delicious, and so did everybody else. It was so much fun and made for a great night.
