Friday Night Cocktails--DC's Wisdom Lounge



Shane and I went out for a cocktail after work this evening.  We walked down Pennsylvania Avenue in South East DC toward the Potomac Metro stop and had a drink at the Wisdom Lounge.  The actual full name is the Wisdom Lounge & Bluecoat Gin Palace, but I think most people just call it Wisdom.  I had the drink pictured above, the Dragon's Tit.  The description on the menu is the following:

Habanero-infused Sauza Tequila balanced with Pomegranate Juice & Chambord. A nice fiery finish.

This is the second time I've had this drink and I like it.  But, I realize it may not be everyone's cup of tea. It reminds me of the candy, Hot Tamales.  It has a fiery start, middle, and finish.  It is not a dull cocktail.  I love the spicy flavor. 

Shane had the Pears of Wisdom (pictured below).  He has had it several times before.  I tasted his also, but it seemed a bit blander tonight after the Dragon's Tit.  There was a different bartender tonight, so the taste was not the same as we remember.  Here is its description:

Elegant & sophisticated Pear Vodka & Cognac combo with Elderflower imported from England.
