        <content>Hola everyone-  my husband and I are starting our 11th anniversary evening this Saturday at Bourbon and Branch (before going to dinner at La Folie, whee!).  I love the cocktails there and usually order about two or three different ones for an evening.

So cocktail-o-philes, what would be your ideal "flight" of say, three cocktails for a nice evening out?  (We're having cocktails early-ish and having dinner much later in the evening, so indulging shouldn't hurt dinner plans.)

Many thanks for your suggestions!</content>

      <content>Please be careful!!  Two drinks at Bourbon and Branch are more than enough.  I can't imagine three!  

The Black Manhattan is amazing.  Other favorites include the Revolver and I tried a new one called a "Parlay" last night that was really good.  </content>

      <content>I'll second Problem Child's Black Manhattan and also second norjah's call for 2 drinks.  They'll serve an amuse as well, so you'll have three distinct tastes anyway.</content>

      <content>Thanks!  Hubby and I ended up having two of the champagne cocktails each-  the French 75, the Elderflower, the Cucumber Gimlet and one other I can't remember, plus the amuses, which, you are correct, was just enough.</content>
