It's been a while since my husband, Classic Rock Bob, and I met up with friends for happy hour. May is one of the busiest calendar months of the year with graduations, weddings, holidays and birthdays that spill over into the month of June. When some friends suggested Under the Volcano, the longtime Rice Village cocktail lounge and live music venue, everyone was in agreement and that's where we headed on a hot Houston Thursday.
My frozen screwdriver was refreshingly slushy if not particularly strong in either alcohol or orange. The Cuba Libre was like a boozy Coke Icee and I really liked the flavor even though I don't usually like Coca-Cola. CRB thought is was"okay". He'd find his happy drink later.Our food was delivered within just a few minutes and we attempted to make as much space as possible on our table.
When we went back in, I discovered my husband sipping a pina colada out of a martini glass. He's accustomed to me sampling his drinks and after a quick taste, I knew it would be my next cocktail. Unlike the typical frozen version, this was served straight up with just the right blend of pineapple and coconut plus a good hit of rum. Our tablemates were going back and forth between cocktails and beer with the drink prices being in the moderate range.
