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.

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:

  • 2 oz. Irish whiskey
  • 1/2 oz. dry vermouth
  • 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura
  • 1 dash absinthe

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.

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!!!
