An OGD old fashioned with some white cheddar Cheez-its. I wonder. If I followed with a cheeseburger with burger sauce, onion, lettuce, and tomato, would I have a complete diet?
I’m really liking this as a summer drink, on the rocks. It’s very refreshing. Found it on sale in the ‘World Foods’ aisle in Tesco.

Anybody ever tried Citronge lime liqueur? I would think a lime liqueur might be a little more bracing than lemon. I would think a little lime liqueur and Pellegrino might be refreshing. Anyone have any thoughts?
A thoughtful pal sent us this Manhattan/Brooklyn set through Cocktail Courier as a condolence gift.
Neither of us are big on either drink, but I guess we’ll be dipping our toes into them. And hot sauce is always welcome.

Pop those coupes in the freezer while you make your Manhattans.
Of course.
How kind of them, I’m very fond of Manhattans.

The Grable, from TCM’s book Eddie Muller’s Noir Bar:
- 1 1/2 oz. bourbon
- 3/4 oz. Grand Marnier
- Splash club soda
- Maraschino cherry
Build the drink in an ice-filled rocks or Old-Fashioned glass, then garnish with the cherry.
(Note: the book recommends using an old-school bar cherry in keeping with Betty Grable’s All-American-ness, rather than a fancy Luxardo cherry.)

My son in law works at Milam & Greene, out in Blanco. They launched a new lower proof and lower priced whiskey, Provision, for those evenings when the barrel proof delights are just too much. It is solid and a good value, but I really enjoyed sneaking around to the tanks and barrels to sample the new releases before bottling. Despite a temperature in the nineties, a good breeze and the shade of the big oaks made for pleasant noshing on barbecue and finishing my Glencairn glass. Home to Austin in time to endure UT’s sad performance against UTEP.
