If you would have substituted a "I'm sorry for spilling your drink. What were you drinking, I'd like to buy you another?" The everybody would have been happy, and you would have saved face a little.
You learned a lesson here...some chicks hit. Some chicks hit pretty damn good too. IMO you goofed when you spilled her drink, and you made it even worse with a cocky answer to her question which pushed her buttons. Before you spout off with some cocky comment, maybe you should think about how the person might respond. You spilled her drink, therefore you should replace it. If you didn't want to replace it you could have just said, "Sorry about that" and started walking. I am not defending the woman for hitting you, because I think she was wrong...but when you mix some people with alcohol, you get instant asshole, and that is to be expected sometimes in a bar. Good thing you didn't hit her too...the one good thing you did was walk away. Since you didn't want to replace her drink....walking away was the only choice.
Judging from her reaction... the evening still would have been shitty if you mentioned her to the management, or worse - hit her back. Either one would have gotten you a bunch of shit from either her friends, or others, or both.
Live and learn fella....and be more careful when "spining around" at a bar.
PS: I would have offered to buy her a drink...even though it was an accident. I have learned the hard way that when you are in a bar, theres's a good chance the people you may have to deal with are either drunk, or assholes, or both...and sometimes it is just best to swallow a little pride, just to keep the rest of the evening from being ruined.
