Думаю, контекст очевиден :) но для полноты картины приведу всю фразу:
Ик... э... хорошо пошла...
кроме "that was a good one" ничего в голову не идет... может, найдутся более колоритные варианты?

: Actually, I like "went down well", since it's ambiguous! It could mean a drink, or it could mean a performance or a party or anything.

Thanks, David. "хорошо пошла" does mean a drink, not a party.

: Можно сказать "Like an angel pissed on my tongue"; "It slid down my throat smooth as silk", но это длинно :-). К тому же "it went down well/nicely/smoothly", пожалуй, единственный вариант, который можно состыковать с продолжением "обещала вернуться" :-)
