The Rosita:
Stir in an ice-filled mixing glass and strain into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass. If you have, garnish with a twist of grapefruit.
Antica is my favorite
A restaurant Negroni that was meh. I like my Punt e Mes. This one tasted like Dolin Rouge, much lighter, combining with the orange wheel and Campari for an Aperol effect.
A lunchtime Irish Coffee at The Buena Vista. It was a long morning.
I’ve had a few of those 5 million.
The Pantheon:
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
I’ve never heard of this!
Saw it in a recent PUNCH Magazine newsletter e-mail.
Todays’ a good one (though everyday is) for 12 year Redbreast.
Erin Go Bragh. Sl’ainte.
Damn that’s brave on St. Patrick’s Day - how crowded was it?
Not too bad actually! There was a line for I think tables but I was by myself and there were empty seats at the bar.
For a late celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, I made a Blackthorn:
Shake over ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
Our swim buddies gathered for lunch yesterday at a local Mexican restaurant. The virgin lime margarita I ordered was straight syrup of some unknown mix. Pineapple-y hint. Yuck. Even diluting it was unworkable. Sent it back with no replacement. Other regular margaritas ordered were great.
So many great memories of their Irish Coffees!
Rye. Well, I bought it today. Sampling will have to wait - I’m on a course of antibiotics, and my gut can’t stand much of anything, let alone alcohol.
Brewed in Hampden, Hon!!!
A beautiful Chrysanthemum to mark the start of spring.
Stir with ice, strain into a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with a twist of orange.
Botanist and Dolin dry 3:1 martinis.
