cutting straight to the pont tonight. What a day! Fighting for my neighborhood’s future can be exhausting. I am not a political actor but time to play hardball. Very frustrating when the people who make decisions are unqualified, uneducated and propelled by sheer cronyism.

Last night (among several others) . . .
Dewazakura Omachi “Jewel Brocade” Junmai Ginjo . . .
. . . and Kamoizumi Sachi 17-Year [Bottle] Aged Koshu (bottled in 1997; released for sale in 2014 . . . so I guess it’s “18-Year Aged Koshu”)

Clint Eastwood, from The Old Fashioned book. Rye, equal parts angostura and green chartreuse, simple syrup, and orange peel garnish.
the drink at the restaurant is very, very bright green, full of tiny bits of cilantro. it’s delicious. they’re definitely not just muddling. but i do understand what you’re saying about the blender changing the color. i’m not sure what the restaurant does differently. i’ll have to ask next time i go.
Last night: St. Germain Martini. Gin, dry vermouth, a tiny splash of St. Germain, and a couple of dashes of fennel bitters. will definitely make again.
i just bought some pisco today, so tonight will be a Pisco Sour.

Love that stuff. Since I discovered it a year or so ago, I keep stocking up. For fun, have you ever tried their JaM Cab? I haven’t. Some info here:

From The Woolworth in Dallas, TX –
“Smoke & Spice” (lime, jalapeño and cumin, tequila, with a cayenne-sugared rim, the smoke coming for a chip of dry ice in the cocktail) – delicious, smooth, with a spicy lips-on-fire-kiss-me-quick! finish.

You don’t like buttery chards? This one is a fine example. More info, though you are a wine guru–am guessing you’ve heard of this cellar, but it may not be your thinG?
