Swoon List: 5 Things We Adore Right Now
- The Amexica–a potent commingling of smoky Mezcal, tequila, lavender, and absinthe garnished with mint leaf–that is putting hair on people’s chests at The Libertine (38 E. Washington St., 317-631-3333). Up, down, center, and in … don’t order one thinking you will get a margarita.
- The mini carrot cake at Thr3e Wise Men Brewing Co. (1021 Broad Ripple Ave., 317-255-5151), reportedly from the kitchen files of founder Scott Wise’s mother in law.
- The veggie skillet at The Historic Steer Inn (5130 E. 10th St., 317-356-0996), crowned with a pair of poached eggs and cheese. Crumbling a side order of extra-crisp bacon over the top defeats the purpose. But deliciously so.
- Twenty Tap’s (5406 N. College Ave., 317-602-8840) spicy Cuban, which adds Sriracha and pepper-jack cheese to the standard pressed-sandwich components.
- Classic vanilla-bean creme brulee embellished with a tiny strawberry ice pop at Tavern on South (423 W. South St., 317-602-3115).
