At Bubba's Sulky Lounge in Portland, ME, Cece Champagne has been bartending for 43 years serving Long Island Iced Teas and more (via punch_drink)
Bubba [the owner of the bar] was looking for kitchen help, so I started there. I had experience in the kitchen from the sixth grade on, when I worked at a store across the street from my middle school. I would go there in the mornings and do food prep and dough-frying, then go to school. I made a lot of meatballs.
It was Christmas Eve day and my sister, who was behind the bar, needed someone to help her. She called Bubba and he said it was OK for me to get behind the bar. The shift started at 6 a.m., when the postal workers across the street finished their night shift. We would get packed. My sister trained me; she is still working here today, but has been on-and-off at Bubba’s.I like the atmosphere and I love the people. I like the music, the money is great and the people are awesome.
I created a drink called “Fruits Around the World” and people seem to like that one a lot. It is fruit vodkas, Sierra Mist, grenadine and pineapple. I’ll ask what their favorite fruit is and that is the largest pour. It’s pretty popular.It has changed quite a bit in 43 years. The liquor laws have gotten stricter—you need to be careful serving people. You more or less feel like a babysitter at some points. Back in my day, women used to get up and dance in groups.
