Absinthe so strong you cut off both your ears.

being a contrarian is prestigious/attractive to women, shows you're comfortable in your own skin

if you go to a dive bar, order a vesper martini with a lemon twist or some other easy yet out-of-place cocktail like a Negroni

if you go to a nice lounge, get a bud heavy or PBR

if you go to a steakhouse, order a shot of top shelf tequila and a can of tecate

 

As far as REITs go it’s the traditional BBs with balance sheets: GS, Citi, JPM, BAML

Eastdil is great on portfolio deals.

Boutiques are all over the place on fund capital raises and more esoteric real estate companies.

Think you replied to the wrong thread bubba. 

 

If you're at Goldman Sachs, then the Goldman is the most prestigious drink by far. 3tblspoons Vodka 3 Tablespoons Blue Curacao 3 tablspoons cream and 2 tblspoons milk. The interns and higher ups will be impressed by the way the color matches the GS logo.

The JPM: Is blue curacao, tequila, mint leaves, sugar and crushed ice.

I'm neither smart nor creative, so please excuse the boring names.

 

Cool Blue or Glacier Freeze .... I prefer the latter
