Yesterday reached 83 degrees on the pool deck, where man-thongers beer-basted their chests in the sunshine and suicide girls drifted with the wind on inflatable rings, drinking Bud Light Lime in a koozie through a straw.
“It’s a secret recipe,” says Mckinna, the smiley redheaded bartender from Baton Rouge, pouring the last of her homemade sweet tea into a cup of vodka and ice.
“It comes from the dirty South, made hot and sweet and spicy, with some Southern hospitality.”
The bar also serves margaritas, bloody marys, mojitos, mai tais, and tequila sunrises from noon to 6 p.m. every day except for Fridays, when you can drink ‘til 8.
Pool admission is $5 on Saturdays and Sundays.
