2,200 Places
A mezcal and pineapple highball with a salted rim — poured the same way in every room, twenty-five countries deep
"Our business comes to life in 2,200 places. My office building here in Chicago is not one of them."
Why this cocktail? 2,200 venues, one standard. A drink engineered to taste identical in every room.
The Story
The promise he is actually selling is consistency: an overworked organizer, a freelance labor market, and no way of knowing who will walk into the ballroom to run the show. So the drink has to be the same the four hundredth time as the first — a spec simple enough to survive a stranger's hands, bright enough that nobody in any of those rooms sends it back, with a salted rim that says somebody paid attention to the edge.
