stylophilesWhats in your glass tonight??? Part(?)
Went completely off the rails (thanks YouTube videos) and made pre-prohibition grenadine. A 1901 recipe, not a bit of pomegranate involved. First time ever making anything that requires graduated cylinders, beakers, and stuff like phosphoric acid and clove oil… oddly, this is the first time in recorded history that something went as well for in real life as it did for the guy in the video!
Then, off to make a 1920s recipe for what they called a “Left Hand Bacardi Cocktail”.
2 oz Cuban style rum (Planteray 3 Star)
1 oz Dry Gin (Tanqueray)
1 oz Grenadine
1 oz fresh lime juice
Shake and serve.
This is going to be awesome for summer!

stylophilesWent back in time and whipped up an Aviation!
Gin, Marischino, fresh lemon juice, and Crème de Violette. I add a couple ml of blue curaçao to edge the color to the blue side.
A nice crisp flavor to go along with the unusual nice weather we are getting up here!

oddballJust made my first Old Fashioned for today- simple syrup, bitters, lots of ice, Woodford bourbon, orange slice and a Luxardo cherry, while watching the Kentucky Derby coverage. Forgot to buy mint leaves, so no Mint Julips.

mr kablammoCooper's Craft is the BF replacement for the Early Times BiB that was sold to Sazerac. The Sazerac product is not the equal to the BF. So I switched to the OF 1897 BiB. I want to try the Cooper's Craft.
Last night: kefir mixed with milk

Sazerac definitely ruined a good product.

vthokyWe were very much looking forward to mojitos tonight, but it seems every grocery store around has sold out of mint leaves (and I haven’t yet started growing my own).
So tonight we opted for a Meiomi pinot noir, accompanied by some espresso Bellaviitano and some Havarti. This red wine also goes well with an 85% cacao dark chocolate.
It’s not mojitos, but it’s darned good snack.

sig operatorCold and rainy here. Went with a version of a hot toddy.
Package of Alpine apple cider mix, 1 cup boiling water, shot of peach schnapps or peach brandy, and some whipped cream if I have any.
Keeps the cold away.

stylophilesClosing out the day with a classic Negroni.
Not the sort of thing I would have thought I really liked, but he complex combination of bitter flavors really kind of grows on you!
